What reading level is The Fiery Cross Or the Vow of Montrose book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
General Baillie remained at Perth to be ready to assist, if necessary, Sir John Hurry's army.
If the Covenanters fancied Montrose would have remained inactive, they were grievously mistaken. The Marquis had determined on a daring enter- prise, — no less than a descent on the Lowlands. He had also a double motive, which was to harass his enemies and keep them occupied in watching his movements, while his friends were scouring Scotland for further aid.
Baillie, hearing from his spies that Montros...e was quartered at Crieff, determined to try and surprise him. He set out at night, and reached Montrose's camp at daybreak. The Marquis had been warned The Vow of Montrose. 123 of his approach ; and finding that the Parliamentary army was five times larger than his own, ordered his men to retreat, while, at the head of his cavalry, he rode forward to keep the enemy at bay while his foot reached the pass of Ern in safety.
There, on the scene of many an ancient battle, — for Strathearn in Perthshire is the site of three large camps erected by Agricola when the Romans first visited Britain, — Montrose rested for a night.
