What reading level is The Battle of Gettysburg book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I found canteens of water near — no difficult matter where a battle has been — and held them to livid lips; and even in the faint- ness of death the eagerness to drink told of the terrible torture of thirst. But we must pass on. Our infantry was still un- shaken, and in all the cannonade suffered very little. The batteries had been handled much more severely. I am unable to give any figures. A great number of horses have been killed, — in some batteries more than half of all. Guns had been dism...ounted, a great many caissons, limbers, and carriages had been destroyed, and usually from ten to twenty-five men to each battery had been struck, at least along our part of the crest. Altogether the fire of the enemy had injured us much, both in the modes that I have stated, and also by exhausting our ammunition and fouling our guns, so as to render our 56 batteries unfit for further immediate use. The scenes that met our eyes on all hands among the batteries were fearful. All things must end, and the great cannonade was no excep- tion to the general law of earth.
