What reading level is A Family Retrospect book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Aside from the melody and pathos of his beautiful poetry, his real, living presence as a wel- come guest at our home is ever a cherished memory. In the early days of the anti- slavery movement, when to avow such senti- ments meant social ostracism, our home in Harrisburg was the center and gathering place for the friends of the slave. Here came many earnest men, from the atmos- phere of William Lloyd Garrison and Wen- dell Phillips, pledged to the downfall of slavery. How impressed was I, a gir...l in her early teens, with their devotion and steadfastness in the midst of all the oppro- brium and ridicule heaped upon them. " 51 A FAMILY RETROSPECT I believe I can count on my two hands the names of those in our goodly town who believed that slavery was wrong and prayed for a day of release. To others, the presence of those men was an insult, calling for many threats of violence, even from those who had been lifelong friends.
The first anti-slavery society in that re- gion was formed in my mother s parlor, the court house opposite, the expected place of meeting being barred against them.
