What reading level is Abraham Lincoln Seen From the Field in the War for the Union book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We think it was worth saving. The world thinks so, too!
An outcome of Lincoln's heart and mind was the projection into military law of a deep and wide humanity. We well knew his sympathy and tenderness towards the young soldier and the all-surrendering mother. He often superseded the death sentence for sleeping on post, pronounced upon the new-coming youth unseasoned by discipline and the habit of hardship.
All the lessons drawn from that stern experience of his, are embodied in the famous Gene...ral Order Number loo, pubhshed to the army in 1863.
It was a reconstruction, a regeneration, of the rules of war.
15 The necessity of stern justice and rigorous discipline recognized ; but all tempered by great-hearted recognition of the manhood of man! The notable thing about this is, that it has been adopted, word for word, by nation after nation, and is to-day part of the international law of the civilized world.
And the power of this nation's influence in the world to-day, — the reason why her intervention sets free an oppressed people, her word speaks peace to embattled nations, and her wish prevents the dismemberment of empires, — is not so much in the might of her fleets and armies, splendid as these are, but because of her character, the confidence of the nations in her justice, and truth, and honor!
