What reading level is Three Wonderlands of the American West Being the Notes of a Traveler Concernin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And there is no mis- taking the Redwood after once seeing it, for it is quite distinctive, both in bark and foliage ; one might describe it as a cross between the cedar 82 THE YOSEMITE and yellow pine, for it bears some characteristics of both. Its height, rarely over three hundred feet, is much less in proportion to its girth than that of the pines in general, nor are the highest Sequoias as a rule of the greatest diameter, since the Grizzly Giant, the king of them all, is but two hundred and ...twenty-five feet high. This is accounted for on the theory that such trees must have suffered numerous thunder strokes in the course of the ages.
Once among the trees, however, one is quite unable to realize their stupendous size. He has, in truth, become so inured to the stupendous by this time that everything has shrunken and it takes the figures of actual dimensions to awaken a true realization of the mighty propor- tions of these splendid trees. We pause beneath one of them. "The Grizzly Giant, " laconically remarks our driver, and it comes to us that we are perhaps gazing on the oldest living thing on this earth of ours; for John Muir, the greatest authority on the Sierra forests, declares that this hoary monarch of the wood has undoubtedly weathered the storms of upwards of six thou- sand years.
