What reading level is The Coming of the Peoples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hudson realized that a river bringing down so much silt could not arise on such a narrow neck of land as was shown on Ver- razano 's map. The strait could not be here.
Sailing out of Delaware Bay, ,Hudson struck northwards, along the coast of what is now New Jersey. At Sandy Hook another great opening lay before him. He entered it and, on September 3, 1609, dropped anchor in Lower New York Bay, between Sandy Hook and Staten Island.
Here, again, his hopes ran high. In entering the Narrows, betwe...en Long Island and Staten 188 THE COMING OF THE PEOPLES Island, he found himself in New York harbor, another wide stretch of water. Following the southern coast of this, he came to an estuary, a mile wide, subject to the fluctuations of the tide. This seemed the long-sought strait. He sailed up past Manna-hatta Peninsula (or Island) hoping, with every turn of the shore, to see the great sea opening before him. Haverstraw Bay increased his confidence.
But, alas for his hopes, just above the present site of Peekskill, he reached the point where the river narrows almost to a gorge.
