What reading level is The Fur Trade of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ba'tiste's record for one lucky winter was fifty-four. After that he was known as the bear hunter. Such a reputation affects keen hunters differently. The Indian grows cautious almost to cowardice. Ba'tiste grew rash.
He would follow a wounded grizzly to cover. He would afterward 226 THE FUR TRADE OF AMERICA laugh at the episode as a joke if the wounded brute had treed him.
"For sure, good t'ing dat was not de prairie dat tarn," he would say, flinging down the pelt of his foe. The other trapper...s with Indian blood in their veins might laugh, but they shook their heads when his back was turned.
Flanking the fire by some of the great gullies that cut the foothills like trenches, the hunters began to find the signs they had been seeking. For Ba'tiste, the many different signs had but one mean- ing. Where some summer rain pool had dried almost to a soft mud hole, the other trappers saw little cleft foot-marks that meant deer, and prints like a baby's fingers that spelled out the visit of some member of the weasel family, and broad clay-hoof impressions that had spread under the weight as some giant moose had gone shambling over the quaking mud bottom.
