What reading level is Cry of Eagles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
More than fifty Winchester rifles in the hands of Apache savages would be enough to turn all of southern Arizona Territory into a river of blood, and they’d been stolen right under his nose from the Fort Thomas arsenal. This was not going to look good in his personnel record. He sleeved fear-sweat off his forehead, thinking he might have seen his last promotion.
He spoke to Sergeant Boyd while staring down at the corpses of four soldiers arranged in a row behind the armory.
“Jesus. The redskinne...d bastards cut Watkins and Peters to pieces. I’ve told Washington all along I agree with General Crook’s policy of utter extermination of every Indian on this continent. We ought to line them up and shoot every goddamn one of ’em.”
“Things were too quiet, Major. I had a feelin’ somethin’ was about to happen. I should have doubled the guard on the armory. Without them repeatin’ rifles they’d be a helluva lot easier to capture.” Boyd gave the parade ground and fort walls a lingering stare.

This American scout MIckey Free DID NOT have a fruity Irish accent . He was not Irish but American. He had an American accent. The writer has allowed his imagination to run away with him. He'd better pull up short. He also gives Mickey Free an undeserved bad reputation. For no apparent reason, soean't even make good continuance.

Mickey Frees' stpfather was 2nd generation Irish. His name was Ward. The famous Nana born in 1800 who was killed in the ambush actually didn't die until 1896 aged 95 He is well authenticated, and well photographed. As if Mickey Free.

That story about Mickey Free on the internet is very interesting. As soon as I saw the name written I immediately thought of Lever's Charles O'Malley. I happen to have a first edition (2 Vols) of Chrales O'Malley the Irish Dragoon", I've read it many times and what I know is that Lever and friends mush have been very brilliant and michevous to play all those tricks in Dublin, where I myself was born and grew up. I love that book, also Harry Lorrequer, and other characters. I actually knew some countryfolk who were exactly like Mickey Free, and "Somerville and Ross" also have them down to a "T".. Ross's brother Martin, "Ballyhooley" Ross, is supposed t have written the comic song "Killaloe", in the 1890s for a London show. But I have a recording from Boston University Irish Dept, sent to me in 1960 in which a 93 year old Irish folk singer sings Killaloe, saying it was taught to him by his grandmother when he was a young boy. The old man must have been born in the mid 1860s and if his grandmother already knew it, it long predated the claim that "Ballyhooley" Ross had written it. Interesting eh?? I hope that someone with an interest reads this.

For the Very First time the writer has had the Apache Chief refer to the rifles as "repeaters". That "many shoot" was hugely overplayed.

The writer has a monumental knowledge of hissubject as well as the area. I wonder why he minimised the legendary War Chief Nana and boosted an introduced an insipid cardboard character named Isa, as the War chief. with Nana just a follower. Puzzling. Doesn't improve the story, so it's a mysery which will never be answered.

Sorry, apologies. This time is was PRIVATE Collins ho was killed, appearing by name for the first and last time, however, we are not to be disappointed, becuase , as I said, CORPORAL Collins was AGAIN killed just above. So the name Collinsappears THEE times, once for private Collins, and twice for the "TWO" Corporal Collinses, (or the same original one miraculously redivivus only to be slain again.)...I'm getting confused...

Just above, I see that Corporal Collins has miraculously come alive again, after having been killed in the ravine, only to be killed agian, just now more gruesomely. ...at least according to the writer, unless there were two Corporal Collinses, not mentioned, (which would be surprising-at least)..... Hmm. This writer seems to perform miracles.

.The writer has it all backwards. the character Isa must have been just a brave, because Nana , then about 80 years old was THE war chief. He lived to be about 95. I have a biography of him, bought years ago. So I know. Naiche was the last son of Cochise the Big Chief of the Apaches, but of a different band. So Nana was not hopping around obeying this Isa and picking up guns for him. He also was Geronimo's brother-in-law as I recall, so was a very important Apache and personally killed countless soldiers. He was born around the year 1800.

People normally never bend "double when coughing no matter how severe it is. Hyperbolic overplay here. And what need to mention that the handkerchief was "soiled"...too much unneccesary "detail.".Write Review:
