What reading level is The Concord Minute Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We will at all times and in all places obey our officers chosen by us, and our superior officers, in ordering and disciplining us, when and where said officers shall think proper. These terms of enlistment were drawn up by a committee of this Town of Concord, and reported to a town meeting, January 9, 1775, on which date 13 and at which meeting the town voted to pay each "minute man" at a certain rate per diem for ten months. This is the first use of the word " minute man " that I have been abl...e to find in any officially recorded document or recoi'd of proceedings, from which fact I am led to infer that the word was coined in Concord; a happy inspiration of some one of our local patriots, to distinguish this yet-to-be- created army of volunteers, and that the apposite- ness and significance of the term caused it to spread all over the Province, from this great centre and vital spot of the organization of the revolutionary movement. If I am correct in this inference (and I am fairly sure that I am), to Concord belongs not only the honor of being the spot on which " was made the first forcible resistance to British aggression, " but also of being the birthplace of the very name which for 125 years has been the synonym for a soldier of liberty.
