What reading level is Triumphant Democracy; Or, Fifty Years' March of the Republic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The quality of food given to cattle was so bad that attention to breeding alone availed little in improving stock. The average weight of oxen and sheep sold in Smithfield market has more than doubled since the middle of the last century, a re- sult to be ascribed to improved feeding quite as much as to increased care in breeding.
The primitive condition of agriculture in America a century and a quarter ago is well- illustrated in the fol- lowing extract from a work by the Swedish traveller, Kal...m. Speaking of the James River colonists, he says : " They make scarce any manure for their com fields, but when one piece of ground has been exhausted by continual cropping, clear and cultivate another piece of fresh land, and when that is exhausted proceed to a third. Their cattle are allowed to wander through the woods and uncultivated grounds, where they are half starved, having long ago extirpated almost all the annual passes by cropping them too early in the spring, before they had time to form their flowers or to shed their seeds/* And the imperfect feeding caused the cattle to diminish in size generation by generation, till they grew so stunted and small, as to be appropriately called " runts." Agriculture.
