What reading level is A History of the Valley of Virginia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The present war between the Greeks and Turks is a war upon the ancient model— a war of utter exter- mination.
It is, to be sure, much to be regretted, that our people 80 often followed the cruel examples of the Indians, in the slaughter of prisoners, and sometimes woinen and children : yet let them receive a candid bearing at the bar of reason and justice, before they are condenmed as harbarians, equally with the Indians themselves.
History scarcely presents an example of a civilized nation car...rying on a war with barbarians without a^ dopting the mode of warfare of the barbarous nation.
The ferocious Suwarrow, when at war with the Turks, was as much of a savage as the Turks themselves.
His slaughters were as indiscriminate as theirs ; but du- ring his wars against the French, in Italy, he faithfully observed the laws of civilized warfare.
Were the Greeks now at war with a civilized nation, we should hear nothing of the barbarities which they have committed on the Turks; but being at war with barbarians, the principle of self defense compels them to retaliate on the Turks the barbarities which they commit on them.
