What reading level is David Crockett book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The artillery-men were in an open field surrounded bythe forest. The Indians, from behind stumps, logs, and trees, tookdeliberate aim, and almost every bullet laid a soldier prostrate. Quitea panic ensued. Two of the colonels, abandoning their regiments, rushedacross the creek to escape the deadly fire. There is no evidence thatthe Indians were superior in numbers to the Americans. But it cannot bedenied that the Americans, though under the leadership of AndrewJackson, were again outgeneralled.... General Jackson lost, in this shortconflict, in killed and wounded, nearly one hundred men. Hisdisorganized troops at length effected the passage of the creek, beyondwhich the Indians did not pursue them. Crockett writes: "I will not say exactly that the old General was whipped. But I thinkhe would say himself that he was nearer whipped this time than anyother; for I know that all the world couldn't make him acknowledge thathe was pointedly whipped. I know I was mighty glad when it was over, and the savages quit us, for I began to think there was one behindevery tree in the woods.
