What reading level is The Bronze Eagle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Emery, with true southern verve, gavethe worthy general a highly-coloured account of the triumphal progressthrough Provence and the Dauphiné of Napoleon, whom he boldly called"the Emperor. " Mouton--in no way belying his name--was very upset notonly by the news, but by his own helplessness with regard to Emery, whohe knew would presently be in Grenoble distributing the usurper'sproclamations all over the city, whilst he--Mouton--with his oneaide-de-camp and a couple of loutish servants on the b...ox of his coach, could do nothing to detain him.
As soon as the three men had ridden away, however, he sent hisaide-de-camp back to Grenoble by a round-about way, ordering him to makeas great speed as possible, and to see Général Marchand as soon as maybe, so that immediate measures might be taken to prevent that emissaryif not from entering the city, at least from posting up proclamations onpublic buildings.
But Mouton's aide-de-camp was no match against the enthusiasm andingenuity of Emery and de Marmont, and when he--in his turn--enteredGrenoble soon after five o'clock, he was confronted by the printedproclamations signed by the familiar and dreaded name "Napoleon" affixedto the gates of the city, to the Hôtel de Ville, the mairie, the prison, the barracks, and to every street corner in Grenoble.
