What reading level is Memories of the Men Who Saved the Union book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It took the iron-bound oath of allegiance at all hours. It made speeches of much sound, if not eloquence, urging men to volunteer, but no man brought out his hoarded gold to aid the struggling Government in its hour of peril.
The able Secretary lost no time in appeals to the Shylocks. He turned to the noble, patriotic people, who were wheeling into line to the roll of the drums, for the credit he needed, and issued the greenback.
A history of this transaction is curiously illustrative of the tw...o men, Lincoln and Chase, concerned therein.
Of course the idea of issuing money directly by the Government to meet an emergency was as old as governments themselves. But Amasa Walker, a distinguished financier of New England, had a thought that was new. He suggested that the notes Salmon P. Chase. 107 thus issued directly from the Government to the peo- ple as currency should bear interest. This for the purpose not only of making- the notes popular, but for the purpose of preventing- inflation by inducing people to hoard the notes as an investment when the demands of trade failed to call them into circula- tion as a currency.
