What reading level is The Writings of George Washington; Being His Correspondence, Addresses, Messages, And Other Papers, Official And Private book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
shipped his cavalry, part of the German troops, the American loyalists, his provision train and heavy bag- gage, on board such vessels as were in the river, and prepared to march through New Jersey with the main body of his army.
While these preparations were making with as much secrecy as possible by the British commander, Wash- ington sent out from Valley Forge a detachment of two thousand men under the Marquis de Lafayette, the object of which was to cover the country between the Delaware an...d Schuylkill, to interrupt the communica- tion with Philadelphia, to obstruct the incursions of the enemy's parties, and gam intelligence of their motions and designs. Lafayette marched to Barren Hill, and, while stationed there, a large part of the British army came out by a forced march in the night, with the inten- tion of attacking him by surprise, and cutting off his detachment. Owing to the negligence, disobedience^ or treachery of a picket guard, Lafayette was nearly surrounded by the enemy before he was informed of their approach ; but by a very skilful manoeuvre, quickly conceived and performed in a masterly manner, he gained a ford and drew off his whole detachment across the Schuylkill, with the loss of only nine men killed and taken.
