What reading level is The New Zealand Wars a History of the Maori Campaigns And the Pioneering Period book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many stories were told of the brave conduct and accurate shooting of the Volunteers and Militia. There were also a few good shots among the natives. Just before Lusk advanced from the church stockade to Perceval's relief he saw, through his field-glasses, a Maori marksman in a conspicuous dress taking deliberate sniping shots from the cover of a log. Although the sniper was quite 1, 000 yards away he put a bullet through the soft-felt hat of Tom Harden, a Volunteer a few feet away from Lusk. An...d sent two or three other bullets remarkably close to him. The Maori was evidently using a captured British rifle. Lusk wa« a good rifle-shot, and, sighting for 1, 000 yards, his first shot made the Maori sniper leap back hurriedly for cover. In the skirmish which followed as the force advanced Tom Harden had the satisfaction of taking compensa- tion for his damaged hat by killing the native marksman.
Lusk in his report gave praise to Sergeant Harry W. Hill and Private John Wheeler, of the Forest Rifles, who distinguished themselves by their determined gallantry.
