What reading level is The Rear-Guard of the Revolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Driven out by the Watauga settlers, they herded together for a time in the forest, subsisting by hunting, fishing, and preying upon the peaceable Cherokees, till at last, hunted down by them, they took final refuge among the Chickamaugas, the mongrel band of robbers and cut- throats, who were headed by the turbulent and savage Dragging Canoe, of whom I shall have to speak here- after. But the stream of immigration that now poured over the mountains was of a totally different character. It flowe...d at first around the settlements on the Watauga, and then spread along the Holston as far west as Carter's Valley, and on lands not included in the lease from the Indians. Among the new-comers were all classes — the 92 REAR-GUAED OF THE REVOLUTION. Trader, the hunter, the land-speculator, and the farmer, but they were mostly of the latter class, who had come for permanent occupation. They were nearly all from Virginia, and of Scotch-Irish descent, generally poor, and threading the old Indian war-path or some narrow trace blazed by the hunters, with only a single pack- horse, which carried all their worldly possessions.
