What reading level is The Germans in Colonial Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Crossing the Susquehanna, probably at " Wright's Ferry," German pioneers pushed on into the territory of the present York and Adams Counties, and about 1730 formed there the earliest nucleus of white occupation, the " Conewago settlements." The tide of German pioneers flowed yet farther south and crossed the Pennsylvania border. In 1732 Jost Heit with his family, his sons-in-law, Chrisman and Bowman, their families, and a number of others, sixteen households in all, started from Pennsylvania fo...r the fer- tile regions of the South. From York they cut their road through the forests, forded the Potomac, which they called the Cohongoronton, near Harper's Ferry, and en- tered the rich and beautiful Valley of Virginia. Heit settled near Winchester, some of his company near the present Stephens City, the others took up their abodes at distances of a few miles from each other down " the Valley." In about thirty years the towns of Strasburg, Woodstock, and Shepherdstown (first called Mecklen- burg) were established, all of them by Germans ; but, of course, the settlements on these sites began much earlier.
