What reading level is The Fair Dominion a Record of Canadian Impressions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
144 THE FAIR DOMINION A town which permits one of its best hotels to place three double beds in one bedroom — and perhaps as many as nine guests in the three double beds — may already be great, but it has not realised its greatness.
Calgary differs from the prairie towns which lie between it and Winnipeg, in that it is not really a prairie town, but a town on the edge of the prairie. It looks at the mountains ; and it is built of the grey stone that is found near by ; the Chinook winds that swe...ep it and make its climate comparatively mild, are mountain winds ; and it stands on the Bow River, which is a mountain river, swift and clear, and blue with the blue that is melted from snowfields. This is none of your turbid streams like the Assiniboine or the Red River. All rivers must run to the plains at last, but the Bow River does not seem to belong to them, though it feeds them more than most. In the old days Calgary, such as it was, owed everything to the hills. The cattle-ranchers settled round there because the Chinook winds, scatterers of the snow, made outdoor grazing possible for their cattle during months when Manitoba and Saskatchewan were deep in frozen drifts.
