What reading level is The Reindeer And Its Domestication book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 There can be no doubt, however, that during the Mongol period (thirteenth century) the reindeer was kept in a state of domesticity in the Baikal region. We have excellent testimony to this effect in the Chinese Annals of the Mongol Dynasty. 2 Here mention is made of the Kirgiz on the upper Yenisei, and, in con- nection with them, of five smaller territories, apparently inhabited likewise by Kirgiz. One of these is styled Han-ho-na, situated at the source of the Yenisei and east of the River W...u-se (Us), an affluent of the Yenisei.
This region is accessible only over two mountain-passes and abounds in wild game, while domestic animals are scarce. The poor have no regular means of livelihood and erect hovels from birch-bark. They transport their chattels on white deer and consume the milk of this deer.
This certainly is the reindeer. It is worthy of note that in the same period we have a report from the Chinese traveler Ch'ang Te (1259) to the effect that the Kirgiz used dogs instead of horses for drawing sledges.
