What reading level is History of the Twenty-First U.S. Infantry, From 1812 to 1863 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Second Lieutenant Hoar died January 26th, 1815, and First Lieutenant Farnum was dismissed on April 10th of the same year. All the remaining officers of the regiment were hon- orably discharged on June 15th, 1815.
From that time the Twenty-first Infantry existed no longer as an organization until 1861, and as a name until 1866. But in the three years of its service it had made a record for devo- tion to duty and bravery in action that cannot be excelled. It is for us to make known the past that ...it may animate the future.
Before laying aside the record of this epoch of our history, hear a voice from out the past which these pages attempt, withal so inadequately, to portray. Would that we had heark- ened and had more duly appreciated the wisdom from which it spoke. Surely the future shall teach us yet how clear and far-seeing was the judgment which, once derided, long ignored, has entered the borderland whence it must emerge, crowned with the vindication of the years.
It is in these words from the Memoirs of Major-General James Wilkinson, United States Army, who for a time com- manded the Army of the North, of which the Twenty-first In- fantry was once an honored part: "The battalions who fought at Chippewa, at Bridgewater* •Niagara WAR OF 1812 103 and at Erie earned much more distinction than they have received; the names of those corps should have been perpetu- ated on the peace establishment, without respect to numerical order ; the old First, the Ninth, the Twenty-first, the Twenty- third and the Twenty-fifth regiments should never have been abolished ; some mark of distinction should have been attached to their standards, and the men and officers should have been distinguished by medals and badges of honor.
