What reading level is Narrative of Prison Life At Baltimore And Johnsons Island Ohio book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This island prison was intended for the confinement of Confederate officers only, of whom there were nearly three thousand immured with- 11 in its walls during the period of my residence. The greater part of these had been captured at Gettysburg and Port Hudson, just at the date of the suspension of the cartel of exchanges of prisoners on the part of the Federal government, July, 1863.
As it is the aim of this narrative to present a simple statement of personal experiences, not impressions or i...nferences deduced from the nar- rative of others, every incident or episode de- scribed is founded upon the individual or im- mediate knowledge of the writer. I relate what I saw and heard, not what I received upon testi- mony, however accurate or trustworthy. My rec- ord of the period that I passed at Johnson's Island will be devoted to the consideration of several es- sential points, each of them being illustrated by one or more specific examples. To state them in the simplest form, they are : The rations served to the Confederate prisoners ; measures used to pro- tect them from the extreme rigor of the climate as to fuel and clothing ; their communication with their friends in the South, by means of the mails conveyed through the medium of the flag of truce boats, via Richmond and Aiken's Landing; and the treatment accorded them in sickness by the physicians in charge of the hospital.
