What reading level is Wilderness; a Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It cost me thirty dollars ; that is, fifty cents a foot. By that time all kinds of people were pouring into Nome. They were taking out gold on the creek, those that had claims, at the rate of $5000 in a couple of hours. It was so heavy in the sand you couldn't handle a pan-full.
" Someone cut into my tent and cleaned me out but I had nothing much besides a jack-knife. I borrowed ten dollars and went to work at a dollar an hour. A couple of rascals had come there, a judge and a lawyer ; and they... began to get busy swindling everybody out of their titles to claims. It was said openly that if you saw anyone's claim * jump it, ' and the lawyers would make more money for you than you could get out in gold. There was no use in a man without money trying to hold a claim. And the crowd that was there ! Gam- blers, sharps, actors, men and women of every kind and they did act so foolish! all out of their heads over the gold. The brothels were running wide open and robberies occurred in the town by day- light.
