What reading level is George Pierce Andrews book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gordon's defense was that he was not the owner or master of the " Erie, " but only a passenger. He had taken the precaution of hiring a foreigner to pose as master of the ship. To prove his case, Mr. Andrews personally sought the members of the crew of the " Erie" in the seaport towns of Maine where he heard they had been seen. Strange, that this duty should call him to the State of his birth, the State of Gordon's birth, and the State in which Mr. Andrews commenced his law studies ! After a te...dious and careful search, Mr. Andrews 19 found the crew and induced them to go to New York and testify. This was a difficult task, as they were also liable to prosecution. The second trial was held before Judge Nelson in the old United States Court-House-building then in Chambers St. , on the sixth day of November 1861. Gordon was ably defended by Ex-Judge Dean and R. J. Joachimson, who were experienced in those cases, as no slave trader had ever been before convicted. The trial lasted two days and the jury gave their verdict of "Guilty, " in the evening of the eighth day of November 1861.
