What reading level is Lippincott's Magazine, August, 1885 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fort was admirably adapted to its design, and, properly manned, would repel any attack of fire-arms in the hands of such desultorywarriors as the Indians. In the arithmetic of the frontier it came to beadopted as a rule that one white man behind a wall of logs was a matchfor twenty-five Indians in the open field; and subsequent events showedthis to have been not a vainglorious reckoning.
There were much older men at Watauga than either Sevier orRobertson, --one of whom was now only twenty-e...ight and the otherthirty, --but they had from the first been recognized as natural leaders. These two events--the building of the fort and the Cherokee mission, which displayed Sevier's uncommon military genius and Robertson'sability and address as a negotiator--elevated them still higher in theregard of their associates, and at once the cares and responsibilitiesof leadership in both civil and military affairs were thrust upon them. But Sevier, with a modesty which he showed throughout his whole career, whenever it was necessary that one should take precedence of the other, always insisted upon Robertson's having the higher position; and so itwas that in the military company which was now formed Sevier, who hadserved as a captain under Dunmore, was made lieutenant, while Robertsonwas appointed captain.
