What reading level is The Winning of the West book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Danger and death were so common that the particular expres- sion which each might take made small im- press on the minds of the old pioneers. Ev- ery one of them had a long score of slain friends and kinsfolk to avenge upon his sav- age foes.
THE WEST 79 The subalterns in command of the little detachments which moved between the posts, whether they went by land or water, were forced to be ever on the watch against surprise and ambush. This was particularly the case with the garrison at Vincenne...s.
The Wabash Indians were all the time out in parties to murder and plunder; and yet these same thieves and murderers were con- tinually coming into town and strolling in- nocently about the fort ; for it was impossi- ble to tell the peaceful Indians from the hos- tile. They were ever in communication with the equally treacherous and ferocious Miami tribes, to whose towns the war par- ties often brought five or six scalps in a day, and prisoners, too, doomed to a death of aw- ful torture at the stake.
