What reading level is Recollections of Two New England Houses Built By Rev Joseph Wheeler of Worces book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Buckets are rapidly filled and quickly passed along the line on to the roof, where the contents are dashed on the flames and the buckets thrown to the ground; where they are caught up and passed back to the pump by the other hne of men, to be filled again. In this rough usage the value of a leathern bucket over a wooden pail is demonstrated. Wil- ling hands and arms make quick work, and before we can tell it a constant supply of water is pouring on the burning spot. Occasionally a slip is made ...and someone receives the bucket of water, or a portion of it, on his person. Meanwhile many have entered the house to save as much as possible of its contents. In one room some are putting the small and valuable articles in bags, — fortunately there was not much bric-a-brac in those days, — in another, others are letting down from the window of the second story some heavy article with ropes; some are tying up beds and bedding; men are attacking the bedsteads with wrenches, — not to be knocked apart in a minute as modern ones can be, — two bolts must be unscrewed from each post and a long rope drawn out from three sides of the sacking, if not more rapidly done with a knife.
