What reading level is Roughing It With the Regulars book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The reason for this was, that the press lavished so much praise on the Volunteer and little or none on the Regular, that the latter looked upon the others as usurpers, and consequently had nothing whatever to do with them.
I do not wish to deteriorate one iota from the reputation of the Volunteer, for the excellent services he performed in the Spanish-American war and the services he is now doing in the Phillipines. It is generally conceded by officials and the reading public alike, that the Vo...lunteer is a splendid specimen of a soldier, but, at the same time, one must not forget the homage due the Regular. The writer admits that although the Regulars, in general, did not leave home and all its comforts to fight for their country, as perhaps the Volunteers did, yet he is susceptible to flattery, and when his work is well done, he likes the assured apprecia- tion of his countrymen.
Physically, he is well and sound; otherwise he would not be in the service. A few years ago about all the campaign- ing the regulars had were practice inarches two or three times a year, or an occasional chase after a band of renegade Indians, which seemed like child's play to the severe tests they were put to in the tropics.
