What reading level is Andersonville book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The greatness [22] A ndersonville of Intrinsic worth is true greatness.
The greatness majorities confer or men bestow is to it as dross to re- fined gold, or tinsel's garish light to the diamond's resplendent ray. The robes of place are but the parapher- nalia in which mediocrity struts and plays its fool's roll — a livery with which it deceives itself, and losing, falls into oblivion.
Man instinctively clings to life and abhors death. He turns from dissolution with fear and trembling and is pr...epared to give all material possessions that he may live. And when at last he faces ''the inevi- table hour," and there is no further [23] A n d e r s 72 V i 1 1 e retreat, no more evasion, he longs to die arnid the familiar scenes of the community where he has lived, within the sacred walls of his home, surrounded by trusted friends, by the wife he has loved, by the children he has begotten. In the agony of nature's dissolving ties, ere he gives up the ghost and sinks into the si- lence of the unknown, he yearns to sense the clinging clasp of friend- ship's hands, to feel upon his pallid brow affection's falling tear, and upon his livid lips ^'love's last and holiest kiss." It is this instinctive love of life, this universal dread of death, this [24] Andersonville longing to die, when die we must, surrounded with famihar scenes and by those we love, that gives dis- tinction to the sacrifice and crowns with glory the vicarious atonement of those who die in battle, amid the tragic scenes of war, in strange lands, on distant fields, for some great cause whose issue involves the destiny of every land and race.
