What reading level is Some Important Colonial Military Operations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

One demand for surrender was refused but the second had to be accepted.
The terms were honorable enough, viz: the garrison to march out with all the honors of war, carrying their effects and one swivel with them.
The articles were reduced to writing by the French, brought back by Captain van Braam who translated them into English, and at midnight Washington and his officers appended their signatures in the darkness and rain, relieved only by the feeble light of a sputtering tallow dip.
When it
...was all over, they discovered to their horror that they had unwittingly confessed themselves the murderers of Jumonville, for van Braam, in his meagre French, had rendered the phrase " V assassinat du Sieur de Jumonville" as the "killing " or " death " of the young ensign.
This episode was most unfortunate, for the French made great capital out of it in their subsequent discussions about the happenings in the valley of the Ohio and even Washington's indignant disavowals were unable to counteract the unfounded impression thus created in Europe.
