What reading level is The Story of Canada book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even then the survivors kept up the fight, and when the Iro- quois stood within the inclosure there was no one to meet them. Four Frenchmen, still alive, were picked up from the pile of corpses. Three of these were instantly burned, while the fourth was reserved for continuous torture a day or so later. The faith- less Hurons gained nothing by their desertion, for they were put to death, with the exception of five who eluded their captors, and took an account of this remarkable episode to the F...rench at Montreal.
The Iroquois were obviously amazed at the courage of a few Frenchmen, and decided to give up, for the present, their project of attacking settlements defended by men so dauntless.
Even the forces of nature seemed at this time to conspire against the unfortunate colony. A remark- able earthquake, the effects of which can still be seen on the St. Lawrence, — at picturesque Les Eboulements, which means '* earth slips,'* for in- stance, — commenced in the month of February, 1663, and did not cease entirely until the following summer.
