What reading level is The Camel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When riding without a saddle, the Bedouin sits behind the hump, and holds by the long hair which decorates that appendage. This extreme sim- plicity and economy of harness has, with trifling modifications, been carried into the military ser- BURDEN AND FURNITURE. 115 vice by the French in Algeria, and wherever else the camel has been employed in war, and is found to answer all purposes as completely as the costly furniture with which we supply our cavalry. Every soldier may be his own saddler, ...and he requires no material but bagging, straw or grass, a little cordage, and a few small sticks, which may be found wherever there is any ar- borescent vegetation, to extemporize at an hour's warning the complete equipage of his beast.
Invalids, and luxurious persons, require more artificial arrangements for travelling on the camel. " Ladies, both paynim and Christian, do generally bestride the dromedary, after the en- sample of the lords of the creation, but when the delicacy, the health, or the dignity of dame or seignior forbid this, Arab ingenuity hath con- trived other means of transportation.
