What reading level is Our Slavic Fellow Citizens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Chicago the father fell sick and died, but the family finally reached Racine. They did not remain, however, but joined a party of their countrymen going to Linn county, Iowa, to settle. There were perhaps four families in the party, each with its yoke of oxen. In Iowa the son prospered, until today his fields stretch over the wide rolling slopes as far as the eye can see, and his farmhouse is given over to his superintendent, while he lives with his family in the town. In Iowa he met his wif...e, whose family came from Bohemia a few years earlier than his.
The wife's story is typical of the not uncommon case where the transition to America means a fall, not a rise, in social status. Her family were cultivated, well-to- do people. One son, being involved in the revolution of 1848, was sent to America with family money to invest. The members of the family at home under- stood that he was succeeding, and decided to join him, but on arrival they found themselves stranded, as the money entrusted to the son had been swallowed up in a business misadventure.
