What reading level is The North Pole, Its Discovery in 1909 Under the Auspices of the Peary Arctic Club book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When we had covered, as I estimated, a good fif- teen miles, we halted, made tea, ate lunch, and rested the dogs. Then we went on for another estimated fifteen miles. In twelve hours' actual traveling time we made thirty miles. Many laymen have wondered why we were able to travel faster after the sending back of each of the supporting parties, especially after the last one. To any man experienced in the handling of troops this will need no explanation. The larger the party and the greater the n...umber of sledges, the greater is the chance of breakages or delay for one reason or another. A large party cannot be forced as rapidly as a small party.
Take a regiment, for instance. The regiment could not make as good an average daily march for a number of forced marches as could a picked company of that regiment. The picked company could not make as good an average march for a number of forced 286 THENORTHPOLE marches as could a picked file of men from that partic- ular company; and this file could not make the same average for a certain number of forced marches that the fastest traveler in the whole regiment could make.
