What reading level is Bits of Gossip book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But — they are facts. And because we have hidden them our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of benefi- cent deity, which not only adds to the na- tional honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage.
That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to Cm] The Civil War let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.
There was one curious fact which I do not remember ever to have seen noticed in histo...ries of the war, and that was its effect upon the nation as individuals. Men and women thought and did noble and mean things that would have been impossible to them before or after. A man cannot drink old Bourbon long and remain in his normal condition. We did not drink Bourbon, but blood. No matter how gentle or womanly we might be, we read, we talked, we thought perforce of nothing but slaughter. So many hundreds dead here, so many thousands there, were our last thoughts at night and the first in the morning.
