What reading level is The Phantom of the River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There were no more superstitious men living than the daring pioneers andscouts of the West. Never hesitating to meet death, and courageouslyfacing peril before which most people would have cowered, they demandedthat that death and that peril should present themselves in tangibleform. In other words, they shrank at receiving no blows, provided theopportunity was given them of striking effective blows in return.
In trailing an enemy, when the "crossing of the ways" was reached, thatis, where it w...as impossible to decide from evidence the right path totake, the question was often decided by a flirt of a hunting-knife;whichever course the implement indicated when it fell, was accepted asthe finger of Providence, and was followed with as much unflinchingvigor as though the possibility of an error did not exist. In many otherrespects was this belief in signs and the awe of the supernatural shown.
The brief, terrified glance of Kenton revealed to him an Ohio flatboatmoving up the river against the current--something which in all hisvaried experience he had never seen.
