What reading level is Pioneers in Tropical America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 In the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries this 1 See p. 75- 136 Pioneers in Tropical America passage was known as the Straits of Anian. It is, of course, merely an arm of the sea which separates Van- couver Island from the opposite coast of Washington. Perhaps it was just as well for Drake that he failed to see this strait, which he would otherwise have thought was the greatly-desired passage across North America; and he might have wasted a whole season cruising round Vancouver Island... before he discovered his mistake. As it was, he sailed quickly southward before the north wind till he reached "a convenient and fit harbour", probably none other than the subsequently famous San Francisco, which he and his crew were the first white men to dis- cover.
Here he remained till the 23 July, 1579, during all of which time, notwithstanding it was the height of summer, he and his men were continually visited by a nipping cold. Considering how mild and even warm is the climate of San Francisco all the year round, this must have been a very unusual event in its climate.
