What reading level is Starved Rock State Park And Its Environs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE DEMAND FOR LMPROVED COMMUNICATION PIONEER TRANSPORTATION At first the settler paid little heed to transportation problems. As long as the farm yielded no great surplus the pioneer had little interest in markets or in roads to them. In those days the prairie itself served as highway and was crossed at will in any direction. Some of these uncertain trails followed Indian or Buffalo paths; others were worn gradually between settlements. Entirely unimproved, these roads were impassable in early... spring and after heavy rains. Bridges were un- known; all streams had to be forded. Floods isolated settlements for days, and even resulted in loss of life. Before the Big Vermilion was bridged a number of people lost their lives while attempting to ford it.
By the middle thirties the settlers were raising a considerable surplus and the question of transportation engaged their attention. The best market was at Chicago, and great quantities of grain were hauled there from the upper Illinois Valley.
