What reading level is Pioneer Life Among the Loyalists in Upper Canada book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the first crop of grain was obtained, it was harvested with the crude implements of the day and conveyed to the threshing floor. As a rule this consisted of a bare piece of ground, sometimes covered with boards or flat stones, but more frequently the bare earth had no covering. Here the grain was pounded out with a flail, and Nature sup- plied the f anning-mill : the mixed grain and chaff were tossed into the air during a stiff breeze, and the chaff was blown away.
To convert the wheat int...o flour was a more difficult matter. The government had pro- vided a few little hand-mills, but they were not adapted to the purpose; so that the settler took a lesson from the Indian, burned a large hole in the top of an oak stump and pounded the wheat to a powder with a pestle 42 PIONEER LIFE or a cannon ball suspended from the end of a sweep. It was not many years before government mills were erected at different points, where there was a sufficient supply of water-power. The localities thus served, suffered little inconvenience, as compared with less favoured districts.
