What reading level is Cahaba a Story of Captive Boys in Blue book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A glance to the other guard showed that the friend who was to draw away his attention was most faithful to the duty assigned him ; then, with nervous hands, one seized the poles that formed the stockade, and with SCALING THE STOCKADE. 133 the strength of an athlete, the quickness of a sprite, was over the side in a minute, and immediately fol- lowed by the other two. When we jumped to the ground we observed a negro a few rods away look- ing at us ; but we were each dressed in gray, and saun- te...red along leisurely through the portion of town near- est the prison. I have no doubt he mistook us for Con- federate soldiers off duty, who had scaled the stockade at that point rather than go to the front gate for exit. A few blocks away we noticed Confederate soldiers, and believed they must have seen us jumping from the stockade ; but if they had noticed the movement, the very boldness of the act, the improbability of " Yankee " prisoners escaping from so strong a prison in broad daylight, disarmed all suspicion, and made our dare-devil exploit the easiest possible method of escape.
