What reading level is The Advance-Guard of Western Civilization book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In it were four warriors, one — evidently a chief — an ugly- visaged savage of huge proportions, who spoke to Colonel Brown in English, and asked to be permitted to come on board his boat. Suspecting no harm, the colonel con- sented, and the savage after some friendly conversation sprang again into his canoe, and paddled to the shore whence he came. This was Cutleotoy, the same who four years later made his appearance as a spy on the Cumberland. The treacherous savage at once dispatched swift m...es- sengers down the river, to apprise the lower towns of the approach of the boat, and with orders to plunder it of its contents, and murder its occupants. This was done. When the boat arrived abreast of Nick-a-jack, one of the lower towns, it was suddenly surrounded by a dozen ca- noes, each one containing about ten warriors. By strate- gem some of the savages succeeded in boarding the boat ; and then ensued one of those tragedies so often enacted in that dreary solitude, where a kind of spectral horror still seems to brood over the desolate mountain-girt river.
