What reading level is The Pacific Coast Scenic Tour From Southern California to Alaska the Canadian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such being the case, it is surely the height of absurd- ity to continue naming the grandest mountain in the United States after an obscure English lord. When Vancouver first discovered all these North Pacific moun- tains, in 1792, he had a perfect right to name them after anybody he pleased ; but Washington now happens to belong to the United States, and every American with a spark of patriotic feeling in his constitution must feel that Anglo-mania could not show a more humiliating form than in... the disposition still shown by many persons on the Pacific Coast, to use Lord Rainier's name in desig- nating the king of all our mountains. The same objec- tion might be urged against Hood, which bears the name of Lord Hood; but in this case it happens that the name is appropriate, for this peak is hood-shaped, and the uninformed always fancy that to this fact it owes its name ; so it may be allowed to stand. Louwala, too, would be a more musical and acceptable name than St. Helens, and there is no reason on earth why a moun- tain in Washington should bear the name of a British ambassador in Madrid.
