What reading level is Mount Vernon the Home of Washington book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The meats for the Washington family were cooked at an open fire and turned on a "spit"; their coffee was boiled on the hearth, and their bread baked in a crude oven. Iron kettles and pots, ancient looking cooking ves- sels and utensils, such as could be used in a fireplace, are all well preserved. A "Wathin&ton Quenched his thirst from a gourd" Brass Warming Pan piggin, which answered the uses of a pail, is an inter- esting relic. A beautiful brass warming pan mutely tells the story of chilly s...heets and cold rooms inadequately heated by open fires.
[24] These people never saw a modern range or a cook stove, and we can imagine that, as the icy blast drove across the Potomac, George and Martha Washington often suffered from the cold, since they were strangers to hot- water heaters, furnaces, coal stoves, or even "air tights, " which would have been a wonderful success in this region of thick woods.
In the banquet hall a hand- some Carara marble mantel surmounts the fireplace, and the story that goes with it relates to the manner of its gift by Samuel Vaughn of London, who sent it on a [25] sailing vessel to Alexandria, Virginia, a few miles from Mount Vernon.
