What reading level is Papers in Illinois History And Transactions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These are but a few of the embarrassments of railroading in those days. There were scores of others, for the signal code, the air brake, the automatic coupler, the toilet devices of today, the sleeping car, the dining car, steam heated cars, all lights save candles alone, the use of the telegraph in operating trains, these and many another commonplace of today, were as yet undreamed of. I speak only of such as I saw some- thing of in my boyhood.
The observer of today, if he stops to think, will... feel a new respect for the general sagacity of the men who projected the eight lines of road before spoken of. Little of the vast area covered was much beyond the wilderness stage, most of it not at all beyond. Yet the majority of the lines they laid down are now literally or substantially parts of more or less important railway routes. The main line of the Wabash railway of today, pushed southwestward from the head of Lake Erie, intersects the line of the old Northern Cross about at Decatur, and follows it almost foot by foot westward to the Mississippi.
