What reading level is Outline of the Development of the Internal Commerce of the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Field, mine, forest and store werelinked together into a unified whole; raw materials could beconcentrated at any point and there was practically no limit to theextent of the market for finished commodities. The increase of thetonnage of railway freight from less than 20, 000, 000 tons in 1860 toalmost 600, 000, 000 tons in 1900 is the best index of the growth ofinternal trade during this period.
As the railways increased in importance, transportation on most of theinland waterways declined. Ne...arly 1, 700 miles of canals were abandonedbetween 1860 and 1900. After 1880 there was a gradual decrease ofnearly all canal and river traffic. The Great Lakes were practicallythe only inland waterway that retained an important position ininternal trade. The unusually favorable conditions prevailing for thegrowth of traffic on these bodies of water enabled their commerce tothrive and expand at a rate which compared favorably at all times withthe growth of railway traffic.
Commerce has been aptly defined as "taking things from where they areplentiful to where they are needed.
