What reading level is The Portage Path book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old chief had not only the power of bringing out his own young men, but the Wyan- dots, Shawnees, Ottowas, Miamis, Mingoes and Mohegans answered to his rallying war cry.
Had Pipe been born under different conditions, from a tribe that was homogeneous, instead of one that for a century had been content to pay tribute toothers and bear the name, "women, " in patience; which was divided into four distinct and separate clans, owning their own chiefs, and not subservient to others: had he like P...ontiac been born of a tribe who had no great chiefs, or like Tecumseh, of a tribe that thought and acted as one, to whom war was not only a business, but a pastime, he would have risen to a greater height than either of these. His name would have been blazoned high on the escutcheon of fame, and he would have stood head and shoulders above any other aboriginal war chief of North America. He had all the qualities of an Indian statesman and warrior. He was temperate and ambitious, intelligent and cunning, eloquent and persuasive, frank but discreet, skilful and dar- 30 Captain Pipe ing, active and cautious, relentless and persistent, wary and vindictive, suspicious but winning.
