What reading level is The Old Virginia Gentleman And Other Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The view is more extensive, more varied, rural, sequestered. The railroad suggests the busy world and all my cares away yonder in the city, crowded now with thousands on thousands of sick and wounded, and but lately delivered, thank God! from myriads of besieging Yankees. Whereas the river, rolling under thick-boughed trees, brings thoughts of freedom, peace, seclusion, the delights of bathing and fishing to the mind. Talking about fishing, there is the noblest beech, the best place for fishing..., and, sometimes, the finest fishing in this little muddy river that heart could wish. I wrote a piece once about that old beech, and the fishing frolics I have enjoyed while reclining on its fantastic roots, equal to any arm-chair, and under its scanty shade. When my collected works are printed, I want somebody to hunt up that piece, take out the nonsense and republish it — for there are some good things in it, I think. But it is not for the peaceful view only that I like the river side of the big room so well.
