What reading level is Thirty Years of Army Life On the Border Comprising Descriptions of the Indian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not a difficult matter to distinguish the tracks of American horses from those of Indian horses, as the latter are never shod ; moreover, they are much smaller.
In trailing horses, there will be no trouble while the ground is soft, as the impressions they leave will then be deep and distinct ; but when they pass over hard or rocky ground, it is sometimes a very slow and troublesome pro- cess to follow them. Where there is grass, the trace can be seen for a considerable time, as the grass ...will be trodden down and bent in the direction the party has moved; should the grass have returned to its upright position, the trail can often be distinguished by standing upon it and looking ahead for some distance in the direction it has been pursuing; the grass that has been turned over will show a different shade of green from that around it, and this often marks a trail for a long time.
Should all traces of the track be obliterated in certain localities, it is customary with the Indians to follow on in the direction it has been pursuing for a time, and it is quite probable that in some place where the ground is more fa- vorable it will show itself again.
