What reading level is Burgoyne's Invasion of 1777; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Four thousand men were being pushed around his right ; an equal number followed in his rear ; while fourteen hun- dred more menaced with destruction any attempt he might make to ford the river.
No choice being left but to continue the retreat by the west bank, pioneers were sent out, under a strong escort, to make the road passable.
But the golden moment had already flown. By this time Gates's van had come up with Burgoyne. Morgan's corps had crossed the Fishkill at a point above the British ca...mps, had taken post within rifle-shot, and had thus fastened upon the enemy a grip never more to be shaken off.
As a last resort, the British general decided to at- tempt a night retreat, leaving behind the artillery he had so persistently dragged after him when the fate of his army was hanging on its speed alone. Before this desperate venture could be put to trial, worse news came to hand. It was learned that Stark, with two 132 BURGOYNE'S INVASION thousand men, was in possession of Fort Edward, and of all the fords below it.
