What reading level is The Mexican War a History of Its Origin And a Detailed Account of the Victorie book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The camp dysentery, so common and so fatal among armies, had disabled many and destroyed others. At Vera Cruz, at Cerro Gordo, and in other engagements and skirmishes, not a few of the brave men who landed in Mexico had fallen a sacrifice to the bloody rites of war. The army, when concentrated at the Island of Lobos, had numbered fourteen thousand men; but thus re- duced by sickness, by discharges, and by death, in ad- dition to the garrisons required, not more than five thou- sand (exclusive o...f the garrison of Jalapa) capable of moving in arms could be assembled to march against the capital of Mexico. What were they to do ? Were the laurels of many battles and the glory of victorious cam- paigns to be risked, in the heart of a hostile nation, with so small a band ? Already had complaints of delay been made and repeated by the unthinking friends of the ad- ministration. They seemed to imagine that armies had nothing to do but march and fight, and that these sliould be done, by Americans, with a speed which surpassed all human experience ; that they neither required sleep nor bread, baggage nor transportation ; but that, heedless of supplies and regardless of opposition, they should hurry on to the end, rivalling the winds and trusting in a pre- destined victory !
