What reading level is The Highland Brigade: Its Battles And Its Heroes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Four companies of the 42nd were sent forward to cover the guns and reconnoitre.
This advance proved no child's play. From tree tops, from the top and loopholed walls of the fort, and from many points of vantage, the rebels fired upon the advancing Highlanders. Their fire told well, and many of the High- landers felL At this stage a most lamentable event occurred; one affecting not only the troops engaged, but the whole British army in India. Brigadier Adrian Hope, as was his wont^ scorning dang...er, went forward with the leading detachment of the 42nd, eager to find out the arrangement of the fort, and to discover if there was any way of entering. As he showed himself over a bank he was shot just over the collar- bone in the left side, and died in about ten minutes after- wards. His orderly — ^young Lieut. Butter of Faskally — was beside him when he fell. Butter saw only some blood on his trousers, and said, " I hope you are not much hurt V His answer was, " It's all over with me." The Lieutenant then ran and got some water, and would have gone off for a doctor, but Hope called him back.
