What reading level is Fort Duquesne And Fort Pitt.: Early Names of Pittsburgh Streets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The retreat soon turned into a rout, and all who remained dashed pell-mell through the river to the opposite shore, abandoning the wounded, the can- non, and all the baggage and papers to the mercy of the Indians. Beaujeu had fallen early in the con- flict. Dumas and Ligneris did not pursue the flying enemy, but retired to the Fort, abandoning the field to the savages, which soon became a pandemonium of pillage and murder. Of the eighty-six English officers all but twenty- three were killed or ...disabled, and but a remnant of the soldiers escaped.
When the Indians returned to the Fort, they brought with them twelve or fourteen prisoners, their bodies blackened and their hands tied behind their backs. These were all burned to death on the bank of the Allegheny, opposite the Fort. The loss of the French was slight ; of the regulars there were but four killed or wounded, and all the Canadians returned to the Fort unhurt except five.
The miserable remnant of Braddock 's army con- tinued their wild flight all that night and all the next day, when before nightfall those who had not faint- ed by the way reached Christopher Gist's farm, but six miles from Dunbar's camp.
