What reading level is Charleston the Place And the People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Poinsett and his breakfasts were at that time as marked a feature of society as the St. Cecilia itself. He was of Huguenot descent, the only son of a wealthy physi- cian, and therefore able to follow his own fancies. He studied medicine, and afterward law. His health failed, and he went to Europe in hope of recovering it, but always remained a delicate man, who by sheer force of intelligence and will did whatever he wished. He said of himself many years later, that " despite the doctors, he had... managed comfortably with only one lung, for- over sixty years!" He travelled over all Europe, was received at many of the courts, gained the friendship and confidence of the Czar Alexander, and slept in the huts of the wild Khans of the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. The Czar, recognizing his gifts, wished him to remain in Russia, but the new conti- nent was too interesting to be abandoned. He returned home, and was sent on missions to South America, and to Mexico, in the most stormy times of their stormy history.
