What reading level is The Fortunate Island of Monhegan; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rufus and Alonzo Pierce came from China, Maine, one in 1854, the other in 1855.
In 1852, apart from the residence of the keeper of the light, there were thirteen dwelling-houses, and quite a number of these were occupied by more than one family.
These families did not live in an inconvenient or inaccessible place. They were upon the great high- way of the ages. On the mainland, there were but few railroads, or even good highways or bridges.
Monhegan was a convenient place in which to live.
Its ...inhabitants not only harvested the bounties of the earth, but the boundless treasures of the deep were theirs.
About the close of this period, the distant fisheries were abandoned, and the practice of fishing from small boats came more into use. Soon after, many of those owning farming lands moved away, and agriculture was neglected. Gradually the barns disappeared.
After a time trawl fishing commenced, but it is a comparatively modern method in this locality. The seining of mackerel was also pursued, though not to the extent it now is.
