What reading level is George Washington volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such were the great results of the victory of Long Is- land, two wasted months, and the American army still untouched.
Howe was resolved, however, ^ that his campaign should not be utterly fruitless, and therefore di- rected his attention to tlie defences of the Hudson, 170 GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Fort Lee, and Fort Washington, and here he met with better success. Congress, in its military wis- dom, had insisted that these forts must and could be held. So thought the generals, and so most es- pecial...ly, and most unluckily, did Greene. Wash- ington, with his usual accurate and keen percep- tion, saw, from the time the men-of-war came up the Hudson, and, now that the British army was free, more clearly than ever that both forts ought to be abandoned. Sure of his ground, he overruled Congress, but was so far influenced by Greene that he gave to that officer discretionary orders as to withdrawal. This was an act of weakness, as he afterwards admitted, for which he bitterly re- proached himself, never confusing or glossing over his own errors, but loyal there, as elsewhere, to facts.
