What reading level is The Indians of Greater New York book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One or two heaps of fresh water clam shells occur within our region, near the lakes where they were gathered.
102 INDIANS OF GREATER NEW YORK Shell-heaps vary greatly in size. In some instances they are but a few inches thick and not more than several yards square, as though a band of oyster-eat- ing Indians had remained but a few days in the spot. Others are three or four feet deep, and sometimes many acres in circumference. A good example of the latter class may be seen at Tottenville, Staten... Island, along the bluff beyond the old Billop House. Almost directly opposite, on Cheesequakes Creek, at Morgan's Station, New Jersey, is one of the largest heaps in many miles. Others are at Glen Cove, Mat- inecock, Oyster Bay, and innumerable other places on Long Island. There are several good sized shell-heaps on Manhattan Island at Inwood, along Spuyten Duy- vil Creek.
The thicker the shell-heap is, the older is its bottom layer, but as the surface is approached the age de- creases and sometimes in the topmost part, near the surface, one may find gunflints and glass beads, show- ing that the heap was used after the coming of the white man.
