What reading level is Our Southern Highlanders book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not preached until long after the interment, maybe a year or several years. In some districts the practice is to hold joint services, at the same time and place, for all in the neighborhood who died within the year. The time chosen will be after the crops are gathered, so that everybody can attend. In other places a husband's funeral sermon is post- poned until his wife dies, or vice versa, though the interval may be many years. These collec- tive funeral services last two or three days, ...and are attended by hundreds of people, like a camp- meeting.
Strange scenes sometimes are witnessed at the Digitized by Google 262 OUR SOUTHERN HIGHLANDERS graveside, prompted perhaps by weird super- stitions. At one of our burials, which was at- tended by more than the usual retinue of kins- folk, there were present two mothers who bore each other the deadliest hate that women know.
Each had a child at her breast When the clods fell, they silently exchanged babies long enough for each to suckle her rival's child.
