What reading level is The Apostle of the North, James Evans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are incorrigible thieves; it seems to be in- grained in them. Stealing seems to be the one joy of their lives. It appears to those who have studied them and watched their manoeuvres, that they would rather steal than eat. Most dogs can be so trained that they would rather die than steal; but this is not true of the average Esqui- maux dog. He will steal, no matter how well treated or fed. I have gone to an Indian wig- wam and bought a litter of Esquimaux puppies and taken them to my own ke...nnels. I have fed them well, and petted them, and brought them 161 Dogs and Dog-sleds up in the way in which they ought to go; but they would not stay there. They would leave their supper to go off on a stealing expedition if they saw the slightest opportunity before them.
But they were good dogs for their work, faithful and true, as many Arctic explorers, as well as missionaries and fur-traders have often found out.
On the barren plains, beyond the reach of the forest limit, they have each their own trace for the sled, and thus pull independently of the rest, but in the forest region they are harnessed in tandem style.
