What reading level is The Transvaal of To-Day : War, Witchcraft, Sport, And Spoils in South Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was suggested to him by one of our party that he had now a splendid oppor- tunity of cutting their throats and securing their skins, which would be valued for half- a- crown each all round. The old man told us that he would never permit such barbarity, and, on the other hand, often sent his son and servants with a boat to assist the struggling creatures from their peril. This operation we actually saw in course of being performed on that and subsequent days. Very many animals were liberated.... Those that were caught in false places and quicksands too deep and dangerous to get at, were shot, to deliver them from their horrid sufferings.
Another Boer gentleman, Mr de Jager, living at the head of Eland's Spruit, O. F. S. , has also been known by the author to exhibit constantly all the better and more humane attri- butes of a real sportsman. He never permitted, encouraged, or took part in skin-hunting ; but of course had no scruple in knocking over whatever was necessary for his table.
The game, however, seem doomed to perish.
