What reading level is Old Times in the Colonies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bright -colored leaves were falling; the chill winds of autumn swept through the forest ; the rains were cold. There ^vere many obstacles — rocks and fallen trees. "Winter had set in before they reached the Connecticut, and they must construct rafts before they could cross. In December they reared their log-cabins on the western bank, and called the place Hartford. The snow fell, whirled by the wind into blinding drifts. Their cattle had nothing to eat, and began to die. Provisions failed. ...A vessel which was to have reached them did not come. The river froze. Death stared them in the face.
They ate the bark of trees, scraped the snow from the ground beneath the oak-trees in search of acorns. The Indians were kind, and sold them a little corn ; but they saw that if they attempted to remain, all would die of starvation. Some of them started through the forest; others went down the river and found a small vessel frozen in the ice, but it was two days before tliey could cut a channel with their axes to clear wa- ter ; but they reached it, and, with almost the last morsel of food gone, reached their old homes.
