What reading level is Robert E. Lee, the Southerner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The victory of Chancellorsville, in which Lee with 62,000 men and 170 guns completely routed Hooker on his own ground with 120,000 men and 448 guns, was, declares Henderson, "the most brilliant feat of arms of the century." Thus, Lee had destroyed the reputation of more generals than any captain had destroyed since Napoleon.
But the attrition was grinding away the forces of the blockaded and beleaguered Confederacy.
It was a case of " One more such victory and we are lost." It became necessary ...to remove the seat of war into a new region. For this reason Lee, boldly flanking Hooker, who, secure on the further side of the Rappahannock, was boasting still, marched his army into Maryland and Penn- sylvania, not for conquest, but for subsistence, and to employ once more, at need, the strategy which he knew would compel the withdrawal of the forces still threatening Richmond.
With masterly foresight he had once written that a pitched battle would probably be fought at York, or at Gettysburg.
