What reading level is Famous Men of Modern Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Louis should be demolished. The king, instead of pull- ing it down, made it stronger.
The Huguenots then did a very unwise thing. In 1622 they rose in a general revolt, and made an attack on ■ some of the king's war vessels and captured them. Richelieu, however, man- aged to put down the revolt.
Two years later the English made war upon 160 FAMOUS MEN OF MODERN TIMES France and again the Huguenots revolted. Riche- lieu then decided that their power must be de- stroyed.
So with an army of twenty...-five thousand men he marched to La Rochelle and besieged it. The city was well protected. On the land side were vast swamps through which an army could neither march nor drag siege guns. An attack might have been made by sea, but at that time the king had no navy.
To prevent food being taken into the city across the marshes was easy; but the only way to prevent its going in by ships was to close the harbor. To do this, a great stone dike, a mile long, was built across the channel that led to the city.
