What reading level is The People of the Plains book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before closing this subject mention must be made of their wonderfully heroic endur ance of pain. One can easily imagine what this must have been when years ago they suffered so often from broken limbs. This was only too common an occurrence in the days when they hunted the buffalo over the prairies. Mounted upon their fleet-footed ponies, racing after their game, it very often happened that both rider and pony 84 HUNTING THE BUFFALO would be laid low by the latter stepping into a badger s hole,... or other sudden de pression in the ground. Though the In dians were splendid riders, and their ponies wonderfully clever in avoiding these holes, the excitement of the chase made it almost impossible for the horse to keep clear of all such pitfalls, and the rider, intent on taking aim at a buffalo, would perhaps be forgetful of the dangers of riding on the prairies, and thus the two would often be thrown to the hard ground w^ith disastrous results to both. In the days when the killing was done with bow and arrow and spear, it was bad enough when the rider was not hurled among the buffalo; if an Indian was thrown he usually fell among the herd, and was rescued with difficulty by his com panions, and often not before he had sus tained serious injuries.
