What reading level is New Jersey As a Colony And As a State One of the Original Thirteen volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The British garrison at Princeton was small, consisting of the Seventeenth, Fortieth, and Fifty- fifth Regiments and three companies of light horse. In obedience to commands the Seventeenth and Fifty-fifth, the Seventeenth being under the command of Colonel Charles Mawhood, had left Princeton to reinforce Cornwallis at Trenton. Mercer failing to destroy the bridge, Mawhood had passed over Stony Brook unaware that Mercer lay upon his flank and rear. Discovering his sit- uation, Colonel Mawhood t...urned his troops to- ward Princeton, and a short but decisive struggle took place for control of the rising land east of the stream. Charged by British bayonets, the militia retreated through an orchard, leaving upon the field their gallant commander, General Mercer, mortally wounded, stabbed with seven- teen thrusts.
Here, however, Mawhood found himself in the face of the American army, where, unable to hold his position, the British retreated toward Prince- ton. Making but a feeble show of resistance in the town, and occupying for a brief time Nassau Hall, the main building of the College of New Jersey, the British regiments, thoroughly disorganized, sought safety in flight across the Millstone toward New Brunswick.
