What reading level is Running the Blockade. a Personal Narrative of Adventures, Risks And Escapes During the American Civil War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He knew his port like his own face, and the most trying situations or heaviest firing could never put him off or disturb his serene self-possession. For all his duties he had an instinct that approached genius. On the blackest night he could always make out a blockader several minutes before any one else; and so acute at last did this sense become, that it used to be a byword that Tom Burroughs at last got to smell a cruiser long before he could see her.
Through the ignorance or cowardice of th...e pilot, vessisls were frequently lost, and to obtain a good pilot was as troublesome as it was essential. The risk they ran was great, for if captured they were never exchanged ; but their pay, which frequently amounted to £700 or ;^8oo a round trip, was proportionate to the risk.
Thus well equipped and laden with arms, gunpowder, boots, and all kinds of contraband of war, as soon as the moon was right, the Banshee stole out of Nassau for the first time to make the best of her way to Wilmington.
