What reading level is Reminiscences of Catskill Local Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The substitution of the horse boat for the old scow Avas a sore grief to Ben, which, how- ever, he patiently endured so long as he had a sweep to steer by, but when he heard of the application of steam to ferriage purposes, he just laid down and rolled over. If, as some [ believe, men pursue their accustomed earthly avocations, in the spirit land, it is not impos- sible that Ben has taken service with old Charon on that Stygian feiTy Avhere both steam and horse poAver are supposed to be unknown....
While at "the Point" it may not be amiss to allude to a catastrophe Avhich occurred there, long after "Black Ben the fenyman" made his last trip, — from the shores of Time. It seems but yesterday, and yet, as I count back the years, I find that about twenty -five twelve-months have run off the reel since the sad occun-ence alluded to. — (As a literary friend of mine once pathetically remarked, "How tempus does fugit !") There was a spruce and rather consequential darkey, living at the Embought, named Sonce Ten Broek.
