What reading level is Washington Oak At Mount Vernon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Charles Sumner, while Senator of the United States, had sent by his brother to His Imperial Majesty, the Czar, the acorns sent by Mr. Sumner having been taken from a massive Oak shading the tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon.
The memoir of George Sumner, to which you have kindly referred me, now furnishes me, for the first time, with a correct statement of the incident, but I would correct one of its statements to the effect that this Oak was planted near the cottage of Peter the Great, whereas... the acorn from which it grew was planted on what is known as " Czarina Island," which is included in the superb surroundings of one of the palaces of His Majesty, near Peterhof. Suspended from the tree is a brass tablet bearing a Russian inscription, the translation of which is as follows: — The acorn planted here was taken from an Oak which shades the tomb of the celebrated and never to be forgotten Washington ; is presented to His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of all the Russias, as a sign of the greatest respect.
