What reading level is Report of Special Commissioners J W Powell And G W Ingalls On the Condition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE RELATION OF THE ARMY TO THESE INDIANS.
Your commission cannot refrain from expressing its opinion concerning the effect of the presence of soldiers among these Indians where they are no longer needed to keep them under subjection. They regard the presence of a soldier as a standing menace, and to them the very name of soldier is synonymous with all that is offensive and evil. To the soldier they attribute their social demoralization and the unmentionable dis- eases with which they are infes...ted. Everywhere, as we traveled among these Indians, the question would be asked us, " If we go to a reservation will the Government place soldiers there?" And to such a removal two objections were invariably urged ; the first was, " We do not wish to desert the graves of our fathers, " and the second, " We do not wish to give our women to the embrace of the soldiers. " If the troops are not absolutely necessary in the country for the purpose of over- awing these Indians, or protecting them in their rights against the encroachments of ■white men, it will be conceded that they should be removed.
