What reading level is The Great Fur Land Or Sketches of Life in the Hudsons Bay Territory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
first thought. When feeding the herd is more or less scat- tered, but at sight of the hunter it rounds and closes into a tolerably compact circular mass. If the stalker attempts an open advance on foot — concealment being impossible from the nature of the ground — the buffalo always keep sheering off as soon as he gets within . Two hundred yards of the near- est. If he follows, they merely repeat the movement, and always manage to preserve the same distance. Although there is not the slightest ...danger in approaching a herd, it re- quires, in a novice, an extraordinary amount of nerve. When he gets within three hundred yards, the bulls on that side, with head erect, tail cocked in the air, nostrils expanded, and eyes that seem to flash fire, walk uneasily to and fro, menacing the intruder by pawing the earth and tossing their huge heads. The hunter still approaching, some bull will face him, lower his head, and start on a most furious charge. But alas for brute courage ! When he has gone thirty yards he thinks better of it, stops, stares an instant, and then trots back to the herd.
