What reading level is The Making of a Nation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Inthis account the number seven prevails. Seven of each clean beastand bird are taken into the ark to provide food for Noah and hisfamily. Seven days the waters rose, and at intervals of seven dayshe sent out a raven and a dove. The flood from its beginning tothe time when Noah disembarked continued sixty-eight days. At theend, when he had determined by sending out birds that the watershad subsided, he went forth from the ark and reared an altar andoffered sacrifice to Jehovah of every clean be...ast and bird.
The other and more detailed account is apparently the sequel of thelate priestly narratives found in Genesis 1 and 5. The style isthat of a legal writer--formal, exact and repetitious. In thisaccount only two of each kind of beast and bird are taken into theark. The flood lasts for over a year and is universal, coveringeven the tops of the highest mountains. No animals are sacrificed, for according to the priestly writer this custom was firstinstituted by Moses. When the flood subsides, however, a covenantis concluded and is sealed by the rainbow in accordance with whichman's commission to rule over all other living things is renewedand divine permission is given to each to eat of the flesh ofanimals, provided only that men carefully abstain from eating theblood.
