What reading level is Some Highways And Byways of American Travel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
J The railway, like a slender spider's I thread, is seen hanging at an almost i giddy height up the endless mountain- ! side, and curved hither and thither in such multiplied windings that enormous arcs of it can always be seen from the flying window of the car. The woods, green with June or crimson with Novem- ber, clamber over each other's shoulders up the ascent ; but as we attain the ele- vation of two hundred feet above the Savage, their tufted tops form a soft and | mossy embroidery benea...th us, diminish- ing in perspective far down the cleft of i the ravine. As we turn the flank of the great and stolid Backbone Mountain we command the mouth of another stream, pouring in from the south-west : it is a steeply - enclosed, hill-cleaving torrent, which some lover of plays and cider, recollecting Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's slumber beneath the crabapple boughs, has named Crabtree Creek. I There is a point where the woody gorges of both these streams can be command- ed at once by the eye, and Nature gives | us few landscape pendants more primi- i lively wild and magnificent than these.
