What reading level is Military Miscellanies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the night of the 18th the haversacks of his men were empty, and had to be replenished from the pro- vision wagons, which were late in getting up. Nor had he yet determined upon his point or plan of attack. While resting and provisioning his men, he devoted the 19th and 20th to a careful examination by his en- 378 MILITARY MISCELLANIES.
gineers of the enemy's position and the intervening country. His men, not soldiers, but civilians in uni- form, unused to marching, hot, weary, and footsore, ...dropped down as they had halted and bivouacked on the roads about Centreville. Notwithstanding Beau- regard's elation over the affair at Blackburn's Ford on the 18th, he permitted the 19th and 20th to pass without a movement to follow up the advantage he had gained. During these two days, McDowell care- fully examined the Confederate position, and made his plan to manoeuvre the enemy out of it. Beaure- gard ordered no aggressive movement until the 21st, and then, as appears from his own statement, through miscarriage of orders and lack of apprehension on the part of subordinates, the effort was a complete fiasco, with the comical result of frightening his own troops, who, late in the afternoon, mistook the return of one of their brigades for an attack by McDowell's left, and the serious result of interfering with the pursuit after he had gained the battle of the 21st.
