What reading level is Fifty Years in Chains Or the Life of An American Slave book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I had already saved and hud by a little more than ten dollars in money, but part of it had been given to me at the funeral. I was now much in want of clothes, none having been given me since I came here. I had, at the commencement of the cold weather, cut up my old blanket, and, with the aid of Lydia, who was a very good seamstress, converted it into a pair of trowsers, and a long roundabout jacket ; but this deprived me of my bed, which was imperfectly supplied by mats, which I made of rushes.... The mats were very comfortable things to lie upon, but they were by n > means equa* to blankets for covering.
The Life of an American Slave. 201 A report had been current among us for some time, that there would be a distribution of clothes to the people at New-Year's day ; but how much, or what kind of clothes we were to get no one pretended to know except that we were to get shoes, in conformity to a long-established rule of this plantation. From Christmas to New- Year appeared a long week to me, and I have no doubt that it appeared yet longer to some of my fellow slaves, most of whom were entirely barefoot.
