What reading level is Random Recollections of a Long Life, 1806 to 1876 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Caldwell represented Newberry in the House of Representatives for many years, and was quite popular and successful as a jury lawyer, but he drank to great excess and lost the use of his lower limbs, so that late in life he walked with difficulty and could hardly stand, the Courts allowing him to keep his seat while speak- ing. In the House he clung to one of the columns when addressing that body, and Judge Butler said he could be always found *'at his post." I have heard the Judge tell, in Cald...well's presence, of a public meeting in the Dutch Fork, where the latter had been invited to address his constituents.
According to Butler, a bar crossed the platform or speaker's stand in front, just low enough for Nick Summer to put his chin over it, but so high that Caldwell, who was shorter, could not see the crowd when speaking without stooping below the bar or standing on tiptoe all the time. No one present felt competent to draft the resolutions in honor of their guest, and, at their request, Caldwell himself wrote them out, eulogizing their distinguished Representative for the ability, fidelity and efficiency with which he had served his native District.
