What reading level is The Drums of the 47th book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the roster of the heroic dead, woven into the story of its many conflicts. It is memory and inspiration.
It is the visible soul of a cause. So the men of the Union looked upon "Old Glory." So the men of the Confederacy gazed upon the "Stars and Bars" in the days of its hopes, when it flamed above fight- ing legions of the South.
I have seen it written that with the coming days of arms of precision and long range a general who would order his troops into action with a flag flut- tering abo...ve the line to mark the location of every regiment would be court-martialed, charged with the murder of his men. Maybe so.
But I can't see how men could go into battle without the Flag to glance at now and again.
What reverence could a man have for a flag with- out a wound? How could you call a flag that wal- lowed its beautiful folds down in the dust all THE FLAG through a fight «a battle flag"? What is a flag for?
Whj, when the bugle sounded the call for battle, quick as thought the color-sergeant loosened the lacing which bound the marching rain-proof case around the flag and the corporals of the color-guard Snatched the covering off the National and the Reg- imental colors; the sergeants shook the beautiful standards out of their folds; the sunshine kissed them and the winds caressed them and tossed them in their arms — glad to see something as free as themselves released from the darkness.
