What reading level is Essays, Sketches, And Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We were to arrive at St. Albans at six, so I arose at five. I learned soon after that several car-loads of Fenians had indeed been attached to our train during the small hours ; and, desirous to take the earliest op- portunity of inspecting the men whose doings I was to watch, I passed through one or two cars, and soon found myself among them. The three cars they oc- cupied were not crowded, the men taking their ease on two or three seats each. They were commonplace 252 LETTERS.
young Irishmen ...enough, nearly all between eighteen and twenty-five years old, evidently from the machine- shops of the cities rather than the farms of the rural districts, — somewhat sulky, as most men are after riding all night on hard seats, hut not quarrelsome.
The most surprising element in their manner, to my mind, was the general reticence, and absence of that fluiTy and tendency to braggadocio, so common among new recruits. A .glance at their garments, however, was enough to show that those who had not seen actual fighting service were few among them, — each wearing an overcoat with cape and brass buttons, and dark blue blouse, sky-blue trousers, or having some other simple remnant of the uniform discarded on his discharge fi-om the Union army a year ago.
