What reading level is With the Lost Legion in New Zealand book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great fighting chief Rapata had, however, a private grievance against him, and wished to kill him out of hand, but this the Government would not allow, an act of very short-sighted policy, as it turned out to be on their part. They, however, feared to offend Rapata, so they transported Te Kooti to the Chatham Islands with the two hundred Hau Hau prisoners. Now this was a piece of gross injustice. There had not been sufficient evidence to try him on any charge, and most certainly the Governm...ent had no right to transport a man, serving as a soldier, w^ho had never even been tried, much less con- victed.
Te Kooti was at this time a strong, daring fellow, some thirty years old, who had, fighting against the Hau Haus, acquired a small reputation for courage, but he was much disliked by the white settlers, who knew him to be a thief ; nor was he respected by his own people, who regarded him as a quarrelsome mauvais sujet whose room was more valuable than his company. He was a man of no rank by birth, nor had he exhibited TE KOOTI 279 any signs of intellect likely to raise him out of the ruck of his fellows.
