What reading level is The Virginia Tourist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The scene was inexpressibly sublime, and yet various, when explored to its extremity. For farther down the stream, where the eye could reach, and where my com- ^ 9g "PURGATORY" — VIEW ON PUNCHEON RUN.
Page 85.
ALLEGHANY SPRINGS. 85 panions had passed out of sight, and where I at last re- joined them, there were gentler passages, and " Still waters between walls Of shadowy granite in a gleaming pass ; Music that gentlier on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes ; Music that brings s...weet sleep down from the blissful skies — Here are cool mosses deep, And through the moss the ivies creep, And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep.
. . . . My soul was an enchanted boat, Which, like a sleeping swan, did float Upon the silver waves of her sweet singing." The most romantic route to the Falls is undoubtedly that up the stream, clinging to its banks or stepping along the rocks piled in its channel. It is perhaps no more difficult than the scrambling down the mountain side which has been described ; and if one can work his way through the "purgatory" of broken timber, brush and rock, he will be rewarded on his way with vistas of wonderful beauty.
