What reading level is The Wissahickon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" 36 THE WISSAHICKON Later she burst into song about it, and left to posterity at least two poems, both, unfort...unately, too long for citation here.
One of Edgar Allen Poe's "Landscapes in Prose, " on its first publication was illustrated with an etch- ing of an elk, by J. G. Chapman. This circumstance seems to have been partly responsible for the fact that wherever it has been reprinted it is entitled "The Elk. " But the sketch, as it originally ap- peared in "The Opal, " a gift book for 1844, carried the title "Morning on the Wissahiccon. " In the course of this article, Poe wrote : It was not until Fanny Kemble, in her droll book about the United States, pointed out to Philadel- phians the rare loveliness of a stream which lay at their own doors, that this loveliness was more than suspected by a few adventurous pedestrians of the vicinity.
