What reading level is Pennsylvania Mountain Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A typical case of Pennsylvania witchcraft is that of an old Swiss, Christ by name, who tills a sixty-acre farm on a bleak mountain top along what is known as the "Pine Road," that runs from Jersey Shore to Logan- ton. His house stands back a hundred yards from the road. The original structure was built of logs, but as more prosperous days ensued, a frame mansion was "tacked" on the less imposing log cabin.
Not another house can be seen from the windows, which look over a dreary expanse of fire-...swept summits, "slashings" and abandoned clearings. The gable of the large barn, standing between the road and the house, is covered with bear paws, nailed in disorderly profusion.
Several sets of buckhorns adorn the slanting roof of the nearby comcrib.
With such surroundings, it is not surprising that people become easy prey to mental vagaries, and live in terror of persons possessing supposed supernatural powers.
Formerly Christ had his brother, Michael, whose house was two miles up a secluded hemlock hollow, for "next door" neighbor, but alleged spirit rapping and ap- paritions, culminating in the suicide of an old man named Rigliter, who made his home with the family, 53 54 GRANNY MYERS'S CURSE.
