What reading level is The Story of the Pony Express : An Account of the Most Remarkable Mail Service Ever in Existence, And Its Place in History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Today, after a lapse of over fifty years, nearly all of the heroes who achieved them have gone out on that last long journey from which no man returns. While history can pay the tribute of preserving some anecdotes of them and their collective achievements, it must be forever silent as to many of their personal acts of heroism.
While lasting praise is due the faithful station men who, in their isolation, so often JO^ ;: /3?HE TOSY EXPRESS bore the murderous attacks of Indians and bandits, it is..., perhaps, to the riders that the seeker of romance is most likely to turn.
It was the riders' skill and fortitude that made the operation of the line possible.
Both riders and hostlers shared the same privations, often being reduced to the nec- essity of eating wolf meat and drinking foul or brackish water.
While each rider was supposed to av- erage seventy-five miles a trip, riding from three to seven horses, accidents were likely to occur, and it was not imcommon for a man to lose his way. Such delays meant serious trouble in keeping the schedule, keyed up, as it was, to the highest possible speed.
