What reading level is The Fight for Canada; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And few stopped to consider the reason, which was the obstinate incom- petence of the Admiral, Sir Hovenden Walker. The only good thing about Walker's mistake was that it saved the army he was convoying from an even worse fate ; for General Hill was a greater fool on land than Walker was by sea. In reality, the Gulf of St. Lawrence presents only the ordinary diffi- culties of coast navigation, with the added risk of fog ; and the same may be said of the Estuary, which extends from the Gulf up t...o the Saguenay. There was some danger along the south of the Estuary for the 117 miles of the iron-bound Gasp6 Peninsula, which is steep-to in every place, without any bank of soundings at all. But there was no good reason for hugging this shore, and it was hardly any menace to the fleet. A more general danger then than now, because not so well imderstood in those days, was the difference of variation in the compass^ 174 Digitized by VjOOQIC THE SIEGE OF QUEBEC which amounts to no less than 20 degrees between Quebec and the Atlantic.
