What reading level is The Mormon Battalion; Its History And Achievements book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The scheme was Col. Cooke's. The "boat" was constructed by placing two wagon beds end to end and lashing them to two dry Cottonwood logs. On this improvised boat two thousand five hundred pounds of provision and corn were placed. At places the river spread out over sand bars with but three or four inches of water covering them ; the boat was repeatedly lodged on these, and the precious stores of food had to be landed in several places. The most of it was never recovered, though repeated efforts... were made to regain it.
At the Mouth of the Gila. — Speaking of the Gila at its junction with the Colorado, and of the conditions obtain- ing in the command at that stage of the march, Col. Cooke writes : "A vast bottom ; the country about the two rivers is a picture of desolation ; nothing like vegetation beyond the alluvium of the two rivers; bleak mountains, wild looking peaks, stony hills and plains, fill the view. We are encamped in the midst of wild hemp. The mules are in mezquit thickets, with a little bunch grass, a half a mile off.
