What reading level is Story of France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ignorant of the country, they stumbled right into the new Spanish settlement.
Menendez saw them approach. He had only forty men with him. A river ran between him and the French. A parley ensued. Menendez told the French they could either take to the woods where they were certain to starve, or they could surrender at discretion. The French sur- rendered. They were brought across the river in small squads, and their hands tied behind their backs.
When asked if they were Catholics, eight answered ...in the affirmative, and they were put to one side. The rest were all Protestants. Menendez made a line on the ground with his cane. The Protestants were marched up to the line, one after another, and as they reached it, were stabbed to death.
Next day Ribaut came up with the main body of the French. Again there was parleying. This time the Spaniards swore on the cross — which was duly kissed — that the lives of the French would be spared if they sur- rendered.
Some of the French suspected treachery and escaped to the woods.
