What reading level is Famous American Songs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet his professional achievements are forgot- ten, and he lives in a poem inspired by chance circumstance. Indeed, Preble, who wrote a book on the American flag, went out of his way to argue that the poem lacked the qualities of a na- tional anthem because it referred to a special occasion. Yet every evening at sunset, when the garrison flags of the United States are lowered, — in Porto Rico, on Governor's Island, at the Presidio, in the Philippines,— the band plays "The Star-Spangled Banner," ...and the same thing occurs on the flag- ship of every United States naval 102 FRANCIS SCOTT KEY squadron, in whatever part of the world it may be. Preble failed to dis- cern that, although the poem was in- spired by an actual event of which Key was a thrilled spectator, it neverthe- less is broadly symbolic of American patriotism and, withal, neither boast- ful nor threatening, its sentiments be- ing based upon right and justice, so that now it is taught probably in every public school in the land as an exalted expression of love of country.
