What reading level is The History of the Navy During the Rebellion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such had been the accuracy of the. aim from the forts, that it was thought proper to remove the six schooners from the north shore and place them also behind the screen of the belt of woodland., At 2 o'clock in the morning of the second day this was done, and the rebels encouraged themselves with the belief that they had been sunk.
The rebels had neglected nothing which ingenuity could devise for the security of the forts and the destruction of a hostile fleet. The armament of the fortification...s was a very formidable one, consisting of some heavy rifles and 10-inch columbiads, besides the more common guns for such forts. In addition to this, there were thirteen armed steamers, the steam- battery Louisiana, mounting sixteen heavy guns, and the ram Manassas. There was also a very strong barrier thrown across the river at point-blank range from the forts. This was formed of a boom made of timber, nearly three feet square, locked firmly together ; and then an immense iron chain, supported by eight hulks of schooners moored, was stretched across the chan- nel.
