What reading level is California An Intimate History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was true that the very limited power of the executive had been exercised to preserve and protect them from anarchy; but the only government in the country was that established by the military authority. In other words, California had a mere de facto govern- ment — resting on the presumed consent of the inhabi- tants — consisting of nine parts military authority and the rest such efforts as minor officials might make to in- sure peace by the enforcement of the old Mexican ma- chinery. The Ame...ricans in California had accepted this condition on the understanding that Congress, immedi- ately upon the consummation of the treaty with Mexico, would legislate a legal and authoritative government. New-comers and old cherished nothing but contempt for the rusty and inadequate Mexican laws, and they liked the undemocratic military rule no better. As time passed and no relief came from Washington they grew more and more indignant, holding mass-meetings all over the state, save at the gold-mines, which preferred their own laws.
