What reading level is The Creed of the Old South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a great time for reading and re-reading classical literature generally, for the South was blockaded against new books as effect- ively, almost, as Megara was blockaded against garlic and salt. The current literature of those three or four years was a blank to most Confederates. Few books got across the line. A vigorous effort was made to supply our soldiers with Bibles and parts of the Bible, and large consignments ran the blockade.
Else little came from abroad, and few books were reprin...ted in the Confederacy. Of these I recall especially Bulwer's Strange Story; Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, popularly pro- nounced " Lee's Miserables " ; and the his- torical novels of Louise Miihlbach, known to the Confederate soldier as " Lou Mealbag." TWO WARS 85 All were eagerly read, but Cosette and Fantlne and Joseph the Second would not last forever, and we fell back on the old stand-bys. Some of us exhumed neglected treasures, and I re- member that I was fooled by Bulwer's com- mendation of Charron Into reading that feebler Montaigne.
