What reading level is Frederick William Von Steuben And the American Revolution, Aide to Washington And Inspector General of the Army book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The combined forces of La- fayette and Steuben numbered something over five thous- and, too weak, of course, to capture or rout Cornwallis, but strong enough to give him occupation until a new situation should develop. At this time Cornwallis was so confident of the security of his position that he professed a willingness to send one thousand or twelve hundred men north if they were needed.
It was August 22d before Cornwallis had concen- trated his entire force at Yorktown, and . meanwhile a ch...ange was impending from another quarter.
It is scarcely necessary to say that Washington, while keeping one eye on New York, had the other con- stantly turned on the Southern campaign. News traveled slov/ly in those days, and, like the light from the so-called fixed stars which gives not their position at the time they are viewed by the eye, but sometimes long years be- fore, so it was in a minor sense with reports from the theatre of war. Ten days were required to transmit dis- patches from Virginia, and three times that long from Greene, even when they were not intercepted by the enemy, so that when Washington learned of a certain state of affairs, the situation had usually entirely changed before the information reached him.
