What reading level is The American Aboriginal Portfolio book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The little boys played football with a Chippewa's head. The day before, that busy head was planning their destruction. These children were reproved, but could not understand why any one would blame them for what they were doing.
Women and children delight in cutting up the bodies in the smallest pieces.
I saw an Indian who had been borne from the battle-field, terribly wounded. He lay in his lodge, panting with fever, his eyes glaring, and his cheeks fearfully TRANSPOKTINfi THE WOUNDED. 29 flus...hed. His poor old mother sat weeping by him ; and the door of his lodge was lifted up, that he might contemplate a scalp that had been hung there that morning.
It was evidently a great comfort to him to have it so near. It was constantly sur- rounded by a crowd of Indian children, who regarded it with as much admiration as the grinding-organ and monkey performances excite in the streets of our cities.
The Indians fear the spirits of the dead, and do all they can to appease them.
If they leave the bodies of their friends to the insults of the foe, their souls can do them harm.
