What reading level is The Greater America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the first half of a recent year ten ships were filled with freight left behind by steamers out of Seattle and Tacoma.
Compared with what it is to be, however, this traffic, like the new empire of the coast it serves, is a lusty infant able to sit up and kick. The Pacific is even now an ocean the richness of whose argosies will be revealed to future generations and other centuries. This was one of the impressions gleaned from the tossing deck of a San Francisco pilot schooner cruis- ing to se...award of the oldest and most populous port of the long Pacific coast. I recalled the stately col- umns of ocean craft that daily move past Sandy Hook, homeward bound and outward bound, their signal bunting fluttering the names of ports in all the Seven Seas, and how on "steamer" days the liners file out through the Narrows, crowding at each other's agile heels, or flock in from the Atlantic, by day and night, like express trains on a crowded schedule.
The pilot schooner Grade S. , off the Golden Gate, was not compelled to dodge any such traffic as this.
