What reading level is Memorial Celebration of the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Birth of Edwin Booth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among them the father and son crossed the pestilential isthmus in 1852 in high hopes of suc- cess, but destined to encounter a great deal of hardship and vicis- situde. The father soon abandoned San Francisco for New Orleans, and died on his way north, leaving the son behind him to battle against the world for himself In the larger cities on the coast Edwin did tolerably well, but his adventures among the mining camps of the foothills, as told by one of his companions, were full of grotesque ye...t painful incidents. They take us back to the very days of Shakespeare, when the licensed companies, driven from the metropolis by the plague, which often carried off more than one-fifth of the inhabitants, rambled through towns and villages, to exhibit their half-contraband wares, in the granges of farmers, in the back yards of inns or in booths on the open plain; but their experiences must have been luxurious com- pared to those which gave to Edwin Booth his earliest lessons.
What with imprisonment in mountain burgs isolated by snow and threatened with starvation; with long tramps of thirty or fifty miles through slush and mud ; with the cooking of their own food or the mending of their own clothes ; with performances on boards laid across the billiard tables of saloons or on the trunks of fallen trees; with a free discharge of pistols now and then in the midst of some grand scene of heroism or love; and with a final return to the coast so utterly penniless as to render a resort to negro farces or a local travesty a necessary alternative to hope- less want, his entrance upon his career can not be said to have been either encouraging or cheerful.
