What reading level is Vagabonding Down the Andes; Being the Narrative of a Journey, Chiefly Afoot, From Panama to Buenos Aires book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Plainly he r^arded my refusal a mere preliminary formality to save my face. So ingrained is the Latin-American notion that no man exerts himself physically, except under compulsion, that, for all my explanations, he still cherished the idea that I traveled on foot because I had not the means to travel otherwise. Nor did I avoid his proposed charity without a great waste of flowery Castilian, and for all that left him somewhat offended.
Even the sons of the misled German could not be made to vmd...er- stand why I had refused the proposed benefaction. " Andarines " of the Peyrounel variety have given these isolated towns of the Andes the impression that all foreigners arriving on foot were "living on the country." Tramps, in our sense of the word, are unknown in the Andes. The few foreign " beach-combers " who reach Peru rarely 4fet beyond Lima, and the Indians still cling to the Inca rule — though they may no longer know that an Inca ever existed — of each man sticking pertinaciously to his own birthplace.
