What reading level is The Sale of Fort Snelling 1857 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Smith had been in Minnesota in the first half of June, and had inquired of everybody, including the surveyor gen- eral, but could not learn that any action had been taken with reference to the sale. Not the slightest reference to the trans- action can be found in the Saint Paul newspapers, absorbed as they were in the roaring farce of the constitutional conven- tion, with possibly a single exception. No military officer at Fort Snelling had been taken into the secret, except Major Eastman, who ...had his reasons for silence.
Colonel Lorenzo Thomas, senior staff officer on the staff of Lieutenant General Winfield Scott, commanding the army, ar- rived in Saint Paul on the first day of August to learn that the reservation might have been sold, and, if not, that it would probably soon be sold. Major Eastman so informed him. In a report to his chief, Colonel Thomas ventured to say, "I do not know under what circumstances the post of Fort Snelling was sold, but am perfectly certain that no military man on the spot, at all acquainted with the state of affairs, would have recommended the measure.
