What reading level is Sketches From My Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I fancy the bold front so long shown by its occupiers had much to dowith the fact that such an attack was not attempted till just before theclose of the war. The time chosen for our starting was eleven o'clock, at which hour the tide was at its highest on the bar at the entrance ofthe river. Fortunately the moon set about ten, and as it was verycloudy, we had every reason to expect a pitch-dark night. There were twoor three causes that made one rather more nervous on this occasion thanwhen leav...ing Bermuda.
In the first place, five minutes after we had crossed the bar, we shouldbe in the thick of the blockaders, who always closed nearer in on thevery dark nights. Secondly, our cargo of cotton was of more importancethan the goods we had carried in; and thirdly, it _was the thing to do_to make the double trip in and out safely. There were also all manner ofreports of the new plans that had been arranged by a zealous commodorelately sent from New York to catch us all. However, it was of no usecanvassing these questions, so at a quarter to eleven we weighed anchorand steamed down to the entrance of the river.
