What reading level is The Beginnings of New York; Old Kingston, the First State Capital book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The significance of the names of a few of the streets must have a passing mention. Wall Street owes its name to a palisade 27 THE BEGINNINGS OF NEW YORK erected, according to one historian, when an invasion from New England was anti- cipated, according to others to guard the cows from straying too far.
At the foot of Pearl Street was found a quantity of oyster shells from which the Indians had made their wampum. Hence the name of the street.
Maiden Lane tells its own story as a favorite resort ...of the young girls.
Broad Street had a narrow canal through its center flanked by a broad thoroughfare on each side, along which were built the finest residences.
The seal of the city of New York, granted in 1686, illustrates the story of its early life. It shows a sailor and an Indian helping each other support a shield that bears across its face the arms of a windmill, two barrels of flour, and two beavers. The windmill and the barrels recall the important grant made to New York in 1678, giving it the exclusive right to bolt flour and pack it for export.
