What reading level is Biographical Sketches of the Delegates From Georgia to the Continental Congress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Left to themselves by the withdrawal of the Con- tinental troops, Governor Houstoun and Colonel Wil- liamson, with the Georgia and South Carolina militia, at first contemplated an advance as far as the river St John. This purpose, however, conceived in a spirit of pride and vainglory, was speedily abandoned, and the men under their command were led back by land and dispersed to their respective homes.
The most that can be said in favor of this cam- paign, with its lamentable lack of preparation..., want of management, disagreement between commanders, sur- prising mistakes, inexcusable delays, vexatious disap- pointments, and fruitless expenditures of men and mu- nitions, is that it prevented for a season the advance of the enemy from Florida. Whether this sufficiently atoned for the waste of time, health, life, and treasure may fairly be questioned.
In 1784 Mr. Houstoun was a second time elected Governor of Georgia. It was during this administra- tion that provision was made by the legislature for the establishment of a State institution of learning, which — at first as Franklin College, and subsequently as the University of Georgia — has, for nearly a century, moulded the higher education of the youths of this commonwealth, and ministered to the civilization of Georgia.
