What reading level is Wontus; Or, the Corps of Observation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not known that Wontus was a coward, nor is it known that he was a brave man, except when under some extraordinary excitement, but he wisely se- lected the. strong logs of the barn as a proper place for a corps of observation to take its stand.
The fight went on, but nowhere could an. enemy be seen.
For a time the lines of blue-coated men stood immovable, and then they moved off briskly into the thick woods, only to be received by a withering fire from a hidden foe. The wounded men were ca...rried to the rear by the members of the regimental bands ; and now, for the first time, Mr. Wontus was made ac- quainted with the fact that instead of forming a wall of fire across the line of retreat of the enemy, the enemy had actually 272 WONTUS, OR placed a wall before us, and but for the gunboats would have driven us into the river ; as it was, a section of artillery had made its way to the blufiF on the extreme left, and for a time threatened the destruction of the fleet of transports. The gun- boats, however, thoroughly alive to the necessities of the occa^ sion, opened their iron mouths, and belched such a shower of iron hail upon the battery, that it was compelled to retire.
