What reading level is The Pleistocene History of the Lower Wisconsin River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
America, Vol. XXVI (1914), p. 76.
PLEISTOCENE HISTORY OF LOWER WISCONSIN RIVER 681 2. Sloping gently westward from the moraine north of the river a sandy outwash plain extends to an irregular boundary against the sandstone hills of the country rock. The western edge is irreg- ular, for the nuvio-glacial material is found up the valleys of Honey and Otter creeks. Of special interest are the erratics found in the south branch of Honey Creek as far west as Blackhawk and Plain. They lie on an upper... terrace, corresponding in elevation to that of the outwash plain across the mouth of the creek at its eastern end. This position, 17 miles beyond the terminal moraine, implies that the bowlders were carried to their positions while frozen in blocks of ice floating on a lake.
Such a lake may have been formed in one of two ways: a) The edge of the ice may have extended beyond the terminal moraine and dammed the mouth of Honey Creek. No evidence was found to substantiate this possibility.
b) As the outwash plain was being built, the glacial waters issuing from the ice-front between Prairie du Sac and the South Range swept their load southward across the mouth of Honey Creek.
