What reading level is Notes of Travel in South Western Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The dogs, which are larger than those found with the Bushmen, are of a lightish color, with dark gray muzzles. The fowls, a species of bantam, are very small, but capital egg-layers. I hope shortly, however, to supply them with a more useful breed.
A word now as to the inhabitants of Ovampoland, who, as a race, are fine-looking people, and have noth ing of the real negro type in their features. The men are tall and well-formed, and their upright, manly fig ures are set off to great advantage by... a broad, stiff leather girdle. This, with a slip of dressed skin (more frequently the inside of an ox s stomach) in front, and the apology of a piece of hide behind, is the only cov ering they indulge in. Though they have now been for nearly twenty years in communication with Euro peans, and eagerly buy our guns, ammunition, etc. , they strictly eschew everything approaching to cloth ing. They do not even make use of the skins of wild or domestic animals as coverings during the night. One can only account for this apparent perverseness of their taste by the fact that they look on their own lubricous and next to naked persons as a far prettier and more respectable sight than the most dandified Brummel costume ; but let the cause be what it may, their going thus denuded of dress must ill agree with their constitutions, for during the rainy seasons they evidently suffer much from the cold.
