What reading level is Autobiography of George Dewey Admiral of the Navy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. We stood in to complete our work. There remained to oppose us, however, only the bat- teries and the gallant little Ulloa. Both opened fire as we advanced. But the contest was too unequal to last more than a few minutes. Soon the Ulloa, under our concentrated fire, went down valiantly with her colors flying.
The battery at Sangley Point was well served, and several times reopened fire before being finally silenced. Had this battery possessed its four other 6-inch guns which Admiral Montojo h...ad found use- lessly lying on the beach at Subig, our ships would have had many more casualties to report. Hap- pily for us, the guns of this battery had been so mounted that they could be laid only for objects beyond the range of two thousand yards. As the course of our ships led each time within this range, the shots passed over and beyond them. Evidently the artillerists, who had so constructed their carriages that the muzzles of the guns took against the sill of the embrasure for any range under two thousand yards, thought it out of the question that an enemy would venture within this distance.
