What reading level is The Red River Expedition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'^NDOVVAN. 95 barked at Sliebanclowan, so it became an object of some importance that none but ckilled voyageurs should be taken. The most stringent orders on this head had been issued by Colonel Wolseley, and officers commanding brigades were directed to leave at the first portage they came to, all soi- disant voyageurs whom they found to be incapable of managing boats. The object of having voya- geurs was not to pull an oar, a duty which the soldiers were quite competent to perform, but to ta...ke the management of the boats in rapid water, and to instruct the soldiers. Many men had en- gaged themselves under the high-sounding title of voyageurs, with the object of working their passage to Red River by their manual labour at the oar; consequently, when they had to take hold of a paddle or a pole, they were found to be C[uite ignorant of its use. Numbers of them were therefore rejected, and not allowed to embark in the boats, greatly to their disgust.
The Indian voyageurs, the Irocjuois, were well worthy of the name, and were employed for a long time in taking up boats and stores from Ward's Landing to McNeill's Bay, a distance of three miles, but a very hard bit of water, there being no less than six rapids in that short distance.
