What reading level is On the Threshold of Central Africa a Record of Twenty Years Pioneering Among book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mound, which is some six or eight feet above the level of the plain, and measures one hundred and seventy-five yards by sixty-five or seventy, is the sorcerers' hillock, the Calvary of paganism, and is locally called Loatile. It is there that sorcerers are executed, being first poisoned, and then burnt alive.^ No one has ever yet lived here ; no one passes by it. The brushwood and thorn bushes which cover it are the haunt of stinging flies and every imaginable venomous insect, of mice, serp...ents, and other reptiles from the surrounding plain, especially at the time of the floods ; it is infested by innumerable armies of fighting ants ; and, finally, it is the citadel of the termites, who have, in fact, constructed it, and whose voracity surpasses anything I have yet seen. Under these thorns and briers, among creeping and crawling beasts, lie broken bows and assegaf shafts, the decaying fragments of wooden stools and bowls, calcined human bones, bleached by the sun, discoloured by the damp.
