What reading level is Porter As a Portion of Maine Its Settlement Etc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In some instances rye was not injured by the •frost, but the most of the farm crops were either greatly dam- aged or wholly destroyed by it.
In 1817, although money was scarce, corn was worth from $2. 50 to $3. 00 per bushel, and it was often difficult to obtain it with ready money at the figures named. Our citizens gen- erally felt the pressure of these truly hard times, but the suffering of the poor, for the want of suitable food, was far greater than in any other year since the settlement of... the town. One family of several persons obtained one bushel of corn, in the winter of 1816-17, and this was their sole resource for bread, until a crop of rye was harvested in Au- gust following. One of our farmers was accustomed to tell the story, that after the small berries had ripened in 1817, he directed his boys when going to their labor, to work awhile, then pick berries, and continue thus to do until night. In this way, he said, the boys did the work without grumbling. Another family were visited by a traveling preacher who had been accustomed to make his home with them while he remained in the settlement.
