What reading level is Briton Or Boer a Tale of the Fight for Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The head of the Boer columns were allowed to come within three hundred yards, for the defenders knew that they had not a cartridge to waste. Then the guns spoke to such good effect that men and horses seemed to be swept away like dead flies before a broom.
Their leaders tried in vain to rally them, neither men nor horses could be persuaded to face the withering bullet-storm a second time, and the three attacks were hurled back with terrible cost to the as- sailants. Meanwhile, a strong column h...ad worked round the Kimberley Depositing Floors to the north, and made a similar attempt at a rush by way of Barkly Road and Vlei Road. The seven-pounder at the head of the Kimberley rock shaft, and the Maxim on the debris heap in ' Section No. 6, ' east of Barkly Road, at once opened fire on them, and here, too, for a few minutes the carnage was terrible.
The Boers had got in between the high fences of barbed wire which wall off the sections and depositing floors, and many of their horses, maddened by the bullet wounds, swerved up against these, lacerating themselves and their riders, and throwing the whole column into confusion.
