What reading level is Southern Historical Society Papers 14 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Humphreys, is written with as much candor as ability. General Humphreys does, or at least attempts to do, jus- tice to both sides, and closes his work with the soldierly remark : " // has not seemed to m.e necessary to attempt a eulogy tipofi the Army of the Potomac or the Artny of Northern Virginia.'^ It was not necessary for that distinguished officer to eulogize the Army of the Potomac, nor is it necessary, if it were becoming in us, to boast of the conduct of the Army of Northern Virginia. ...If the fairness of a true historical temper had not already manifested itself in the military writers of the country, the publication by Congress of the official records of the war, both of the Union and of the Confed- erate armies, simultaneously and chronologically, puts an end to any historical misrepresentation, and gives to the world the cotempora- neous account of each battle and engagement, Federal and Confed- erate, side by side. In view of these publications, we need no longer fear the misrepresentations of Pope's vain-glorious dispatches, nor of Doubleday's sensational and egotistical account of Gettysburg, nor yet the absurd mis-statements of Badeau ; nor need we fear on our side that Jackson's reputation will suffer from the criticisms of Long- street.
