What reading level is The Story of Scotland From the Earliest Times to the Present Century .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His army consisted of 3,503 men, and two troops of cavalry. He formed his men in one line three deep.
Near the centre of his line was a piece of marshy ground, and behind it he placed his cavalry, which might be ready to attack the enemy in flank, after the fire of the line was spent. His line of battle was longer than Dundee's, hence, when the latter was advancing to the attack, some companies of the clansmen were exposed to a raking flank fire.
The two armies faced each other for several hour...s, and the Highlanders were becoming impatient. At three quarters of an hour before sunset they were ordered to prepare for action, and Dundee placed him- self at the head of his cavalry and resolved to charge in person. The signal to charge was given, and the clansmen raised a shout which re-echoed afar from the surrounding hills. They advanced down the hill firing their guns, but the royal line returned the fire briskly, and thinned their ranks. As they came close upon the hostile line, they threw down their guns, drew their broadswords, and, with yells, rushed on the royalists before these had time to fix their bayonets.
