What reading level is Old And New Lights On Columbus : With Observations On Controverted Points Adn Criticisms book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His exploits had been recorded in many a mar- vellous chronicle of prowess, and even his personal strength, so out of all proportion to his small stature, inspired unwonted terror, and achieved prodigious feats of valor and success. So thorough a soldier could not be taken at disadvantage by barbar- ous foes. The cautious and wily Caonabo was surprised, after his secret march through the dense forests, on arriving at the fort, to find the Spanish chieftain at the head of his garrison drawn up i...n the tower, sharply watchful and ready for the fray.
The fortress was by its location well fortified also by nature.
Assault by untutored savage warriors was fruitless, and Caonabo resorted to a siege in order to reduce his formidable ioes by starvation. Skilfully distributing his men through the neighboring forests, and occupying every approach to the fort, the cacique and his colleagues, in a siege of thirty days, reduced the Spaniards to the point of starvation. But Ojeda and his ireterans displayed prodigies of valor, and by dauntless sorties and reckless attacks, from day to day, decimated the ranks of the dusky besiegers ; and while every Spanish soldier killed his dozens, their intrepid leader slew with his own arm and trusty weapon still greater numbers of the undisciplined foes.
