What reading level is The First Year of the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At every shot, a convulsion, as it were, seized upon the morbid mass of bones, sinews, wood, and iron, and thrilled through it, giving new energy and action to its desperate efforts to get free from itself. The cry of " cavalry" arose. Mounted men still rode faster, shouting out, " cavalry is coming. " For miles the roar of the flight might be heard. 'Negro servants on led-horses dashed frantically past, men in uniform swarmed by on mules, chargers, and even draught horses, which had been cut o...ut of carts and wagons, and went on with harness clinging to their heels as frightened as their riders. " "We're whipped, " " we're whipped, " was the univer- sal cry. The buggies and light wagons tried to pierce the rear of the mass of carts, which were now solidified and moving on like a glacier ; while further ahead the number of mounted men increased, and the volume of fugitives became denser.
For ten miles, the road over which the Grand Army had so lately passed southward, gay with unstained banners, and flushed with surety of strength, was covered with the frag- ments of its retreating forces, shattered and panic-stricken in a single day.
