What reading level is The Old Oregon Country a History of Frontier Trade Transportation And Travel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Oregon City, site of the falls, stole the march on its rivals. It served as the territorial capital beginning in 1849, and at mid-century could boast of a main street with three hotels, three dozen business establishments, four churches, five sawmills, two flour mills, and, by a liberal count of heads in or near the town, of 1, 200 inhabitants. The townsite of Portland was surveyed in 1844-1845. Its initial growth was slow (there being but six houses there in 1848), but the boom had come two ye...ars later when no less than 150 houses were reported under construction.
The region above the falls (the vicinity of Lee's Methodist Mission) soon gained favor, and the town of Salem was to rise. When the best land in this area was snatched up, settlers pushed still farther backward into what are now Linn, Lane, and Benton counties, in which region the towns of Eugene City and Corvallis (originally Marysville) emerged. Then the construction of the South Road under the leadership of the Applegates facilitated settlement in the Umpqua and Rogue River val- leys.
