What reading level is Company "a," Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., 1846-48, in the Mexican War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In going forward we had the Mexicans before us; and by ex- ercising great care, at certain places, could avoid being seen.
When our backs were turned to Vera Cruz I felt confident that we would soon be discovered and fired upon. I had cautioned the men to be as careful as possible; but, in spite of their best efforts, we were seen, and a heavy fire of artillery was opened upon us. The •2:1 order to move at double-quick was immediately given. The company was conducted about three hundred yards, ...to a cut in a low sand ridge, that had been formed by a road crossing that ridge.
All got safely into the cut. The Mexican artillery lire aimed at us, was continued for about twenty minutes. We had then before us an open level plain for live hundred yards. Soon after the lire upon us had ceased, 1 ordered the men to scatter and run rapidly across the plain until they reached a designated place of shelter behind high sand hills. Beauregard and I brought up the rear in this movement. The Mexicans re-opened their guns upon us whilst we were crossing the plain and continued to fire for some time after we reached the shelter above referred to.
