What reading level is The Chronicles of America Series volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Velasquez de Leon and Francisco de Morla fell, to emerge no more. Of the total force of Spaniards — 1250 men since the capture of Nar- vaez — some 450 were missing.
Twenty-four horses survived the catastrophe, but the significance of this fact was now small. Neither white stranger nor horse was any longer preternatural. Both were proven mortal; both could perish. Cortes, after all, was not the Fair God Quetzalcoatl — was not even his priest. He was not divine in any sense — just human, just lus...tful — a dissembhng conqueror of flesh and 136 THE SPANISH CONQUERORS blood. Once on the mainland, the Spaniards were able to stay somewhat the Aztec pursuit; and though, as Cortes expressed it, "without a horse that could run, or a horseman who could lift an arm, or a foot soldier who could move, " he finally managed to round Lake Tezcoco on the north, and so, after a fierce melee at Otumba on the 7th of July, to reach friendly and shelter- ing Tlascala. Among the saved, besides Alvarado, were Gonzalo de Sandoval, Cristobal de Olid, and the indispensable Marina and Aguilar.
