What reading level is The Lenape Stone; Or, the Indian And the Mammoth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each picture suggests to his mind some event of the far past, carefully treasured in the traditional lore of his tribe. 1 His song, rising and falling in strange inflections, and preserving a sort of rhythm, now tells of the creation of the world, a deluge, the origin of his people, and their primitive struggles with the forces of nature ; now images of primeval giants and demi gods rise before the minds of the assembled tribe, his hearers, of Manabozho the great hare, of Tarentya- wagon holder... of the heavens, of Hiawatha, and Nana- bush, and of " Stonish Giants, " and " Flying Heads" ; now he tells of the passage of great waters and mountains, of treeless plains, and forests, now of long wars with human enemies, and of the final coming of the whites. The squatting figures listen in motionless silence, as the song proceeds through its many verses, each the theme of a particular event. At last it ceases, and the pictured scroll or tablet, formula of its spell, restored to its place in the medicine pouch, remains hidden from the eyes of the tribe until its reappearance upon some similar occasion.
