What reading level is Potomac Landings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" All the while the little city was building, however, there were forging the weapons which were soon to strike it to the heart. Unwisely Calvert had placed his capital at the uttermost end of the province. With every shipload of immigrants the centre of population ebbed farther away. Moreover, the unqualifiedly Catholic character of the capital city alienated it from the Protestant settlers farther north and across the Bay on the Eastern Shore.
There were two temporary removals of the capital
...before the final stroke. When the Puritan Common- wealth came into power in England its colonial partisans in 1654 seized the documents and records at St. Mary's 140 POTOMAC LANDINGS and moved them to Mr. Preston's house on the Patux- ent River. The city's ancient rights were restored, however, in 1659. A calm of twenty years succeeded. Then, in obedience to popular clamour for a capital nearer the centre of the province, the courts and offices were removed to *'The Ridge" in Anne Arundel County.
