What reading level is As to Kearsarge Mountain And the Corvette Named for It book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Howell, acting secretary of the navy, Sept. 28, 1S75, says, — "The files and records of the department have been examined, but the department is unable to inform you how the name came to be selected. " This is quoted here, because it is impossible to say what future altera- tions a ruthless hand, disposed to distort historical facts, may not be able to eft'ect in the records of the department.
The name which the records of the navy show to have been first given to the corvette was '' Kear- sage..., " omitting the final "r ;" but a few days later, on June 15, 1S61, the correct name of " Kearsarge" was applied to her. Secretary Welles, in a letter wdiich is before me, dated Sept. 27, 1875, says he thought Keai'sage was right, but that Secretary Chase corrected his orthography and pronuncia- tion, and after a dispute convinced him that Kear- sarge was right. Mr. Welles's exact language is as follows : " I first directed that the corvette should be called Kearsage ; but Mr. Chase, a New Hamp- shire man, corrected my pronunciation and orthog- raphy.
