What reading level is A Vindication of General Samuel Holden Parsons Against the Charge of Treasonable Correspondence During the Revolutionary War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
H., and forwarded by cour- ier, while he remained in New York. The communication was too late, Bedford was tal^en, the commandant was killed, and the note of E. H. was found on his person.
The next day being confronted with the note by Sir Henry Clinton, and asked if he knew the handwriting and who E. H. was, he replied with the quiet and sudden audacity of an accomplished spy of those days, ' it is Elisha Hadden the spy you hanged yesterday at Paulus Hook.' Sir Henry Clinton allowed him to qui...t his presence and he never saw him afterward." Espionage in war is considered an imperative necessity ; but the risk run by employing it cannot be overestimated, both as regards the fate of the spy and the reputation of his employer. It was by this means that Washington kept himself well informed of the secret designs of British com- manders. His spies, unknown to each other, were stationed at every point in New York. They were usually on terms of intimacy with the British officers and were enabled to ob- tain their information from the most reliable sources ; and, had their correspondence been preserved, it is altogether probable that many of them would enjoy a reputation as doubtful as that which Sir Henry Clinton's record of secret correspondence has secured for Heron.
