What reading level is Crazy Horse And Custer: the Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were relatively free of the white soldiers, who from 1861 to 1865 were busy fighting their own war east of the Mississippi River. The Oglalas, meanwhile, along with other Sioux bands, drove the Shoshonis and Crows from the Powder River country, making that prime buffalo range their own. Those were fat times for the Oglalas, the smell of roasting buffalo ribs rising up from their campfires, plenty of good skins for the lodges, the horse herds growing every year at the expense of the Crows an...d Shoshonis. War parties went out each summer, giving ambitious young braves opportunities to count coup, steal horses, and win honors. It was glorious warfare, for the most part, exactly suited to the Oglala style. Nearly all the fighting was done in the summer; the Oglalas would set the war aside for the spring and fall buffalo hunts and during the winter, taking it up again only after the Sun Dance in early summer. Losses in battle against the Crows and Shoshonis were minimal, nothing like the number of lives taken when the Oglalas found themselves at war with the white soldiers.The Oglalas were no longer begging handouts from whites on the Holy Road, no longer drinking themselves into a stupor on the white man’s whiskey, no longer catching the white man’s diseases.
