What reading level is Six Weeks in South America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not a native was visible from the beginning- to the end of the contest ; and this has generally been the case on such occasions ; but instances have not been wanting in which national jealousy has vented itself in private quarrels ; and then the townsmen, although comparatively unarmed, have shewn themselves far from deficient in courage. Of their military force they themselves speak with contempt, and tell a story of a detachment, fifteen strong, who were recently sent to capture two sailors, ...deserters from a British merchantman, on the island of Taboga. Alarm magnified the pair into a superior force ; the heroes beat a hasty retreat ; and though no resistance was offered or attempted, they did not return unhurt ; the last of the party, in his hurry to withdraw, contriving seriously to wound his companion in front with the bayonet which he carried advanced. The whole force posted on the isthmus does not amount to more than loO men; and the rest being* quartered at Bogota, — three weeks journey in the most favourable season, — are not much more useful 55 than it* they had been stationed in the Sandwich Islands.
