What reading level is He Would Be a Soldier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
10' seemed to wear a settled frown on their surfaces. His nose was in keeping with his general fierce aspect, and was always highly inflamed. But his most aggressive feature was his moustache, which was of a fierce reddish tinge, and stuck straight out over his mouth like chevaux-de-frise. It was also suggestive of " fixed bayonets ;" and an ardent kiss from Corporal Stickler — if he ever indulged in such a freak of nature — must have communicated to the fair one a sharp sensation of being cupp...ed. Of all his terrors this last was, perhaps, the most dreaded ; for when asking a recruit, with bitter irony, why he had not " cut away his 'and more smarter, " or " stepped off with the left fut, " he had a way of bringing his irate countenance so near his victim's face that the chevaux-de-frise wandered titillat- ingly about the wretched recruit's face, and woe to him if he lifted a hand to scratch or rub. In conclusion, Corporal Stickler's forage-cap was so much on the side of his head, that it appeared to he sotting all laws of gravitation at defiance.
