What reading level is Lafayette book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So valiant was their charge that they gained possession of four guns and spiked them, but they were repelled by the Chevalier de Chastellux, and forced to return.
The condition of the British general was now hopeless. His ordnance had been dismounted by the terrible fire of the Americans, his walls were crumbling, nearly all his defenses were razed, and the garrison reduced to the extremity of kill- ing horses for food. There was but a single forlorn chance left for him. Gloucester Point was be...leaguered by a compara- tively small force. His hope was to transport the garrison thither, and break through the French dragoons and marines who, with the Virginia militia, invested the fortifications of that place.
It was a wild and daring scheme, but his situation was des- perate, and the idea of surrender intolerable. In pursuance of this plan, therefore, at dusk of the sixteenth he began to ferry his troops to the Gloucester side. One division passed over unperceived by the Americans, but a violent storm suddenly arose and drifted the boats down the river, so the plan had to [ 267 ] LAFAYETTE be abandoned.
