What reading level is Singing Valleys the Story of Corn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The country between the fall line and the Mississippi was a battleground between settlers and Indians for a century. The Shawnee chief Keigh-tugh-qua the name means "Young Blade of the Maize" had taken toll of the advancing settle- ments before the battle at Point Pleasant after which "Corn- stalk" offered the colonists lasting peace. He and his Shawnees retired to the plains of the Scioto. In 1777, true to his word, Cornstalk appeared at the colonists' forts with warning that the British were ...urging the Shawnees to attack the American settlements. He gave himself and his son as hostages. He paid for his honor with both their lives when the killing of a white man by an Indian drove the settlers to revenge.
With first the French and later the British inciting the Indians of the Mississippi Valley against the colonists, the backwoodsmen in the mountains and along the river valleys assumed an importance to the Tidewater planters. How many 112 Singing Valleys families of them were wiped out in those years of stealthy, bloody raids no one will ever know.
