What reading level is Recollections of My Service And Experiences in the Spanish American War 1898 18 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the assurances they gave me, which I be- lieved were sincere, I said I would wire my associates for a meeting in Detroit the following afternoon, and after a conference with them would decide the matter.
That evening the Secretary said he had informed [■6] COMMISSIONED A COLONEL the President he believed I would accept the ap- pointment tendered me, whereupon the President had requested him to inform me that he would ap- point me a brigadier-general. This was a great and Mattering surpris...e, but seemed to me unwise, as it would tend to arouse such resentment on the part of every one connected with the Department, from the Quartermaster-General to the messengers, as to make my official life impossible. I so said to the Secretary. I further said that since the Civil War there had been only one brigadier-general in the Department— the Quartermaster-General; that the several assistant quartermasters-general were colo- nels grown gray in the service, all of whom I would outrank; that I thanked the President and was grateful for his consideration, but I could not accept it; and that if I entered the service, it should be, as discussed in his office that afternoon, with the rank of colonel.
