What reading level is Old Ticonderoga, a Picture of the Past book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The one in whichI sat was long and narrow, as all the rest had been, with peaked gables. The exterior walls were nearly entire, constructed of gray, flat, unpicked stones, the aged strength of which promised long to resist theelements, if no other violence should precipitate their fall. --The roof, floors, partitions, and the rest of the wood-work had probably beenburnt, except some bars of stanch old oak, which were blackened withfire, but still remained imbedded into the window-sills and over... thedoors. There were a few particles of plastering near the chimney, scratched with rude figures, perhaps by a soldier's hand. A mostluxuriant crop of weeds had sprung up within the edifice, and hid thescattered fragments of the wall. Grass and weeds grew in the windows, and in all the crevices of the stone, climbing, step by step, till a tuftof yellow flowers was waving on the highest peak of the gable. Somespicy herb diffused a pleasant odor through the ruin. A verdant heap ofvegetation had covered the hearth of the second floor, clustering on thevery spot where the huge logs had mouldered to glowing coals, andflourished beneath the broad flue, which had so often puffed the smokeover a circle of French or English soldiers.
