What reading level is Frenchs Cavalry Campaign book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Paardeberg : Cronjis laager.
De Wet fails to save Cronje seven thousand Mausers (a large quantity had also been destroyed in the burning waggons) and over a million rounds of ammunition.
It is impossible to over-estimate the moral effect of this surrender. It was not only that a powerful force had been hemmed in and captured with all its supplies and stores, but the fighting General, the stubborn and in- vincible Cronje, had been overborne. Round him had centred the main romance to the Boer min...d of the Great Rebellion ; he had been the leader in raising resistance to the English ; and though he had not borne a part in the great battles of the Natal frontier, he it was who had captured Potchefstroom.
True, that capture had some not very credit- able features about it, but that was only an evidence to the Boer mind of their leader's "slimness, " and so reflected additional glory upon him, for in this country of inversions it is better to be "slim" than honourable. Among 167 French's Cavalry Campaign the irreconcilables, therefore, Cronje was a greater name than Joubert, and the surrender of Cronje was a far greater blow than any other disaster that could have befallen the Boer arms.
