What reading level is From Sail to Steam Recollections of Naval Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
IX A ROUNDABOUT ROAD TO CHINA 1867 With the termination of the War of Secession, which had concentrated the entire effort of the navy upon our own coasts and inland waters, the poHcy of the govern- ment reverted, irreflectively perhaps, to the identical sys- tem of distribution in squadrons that had existed before. The prolonged tension of mind and effort during four years of overwrought activity was followed by a period of re- action, to which, as far as the administration of the navy was conc...erned, the term collapse would scarcely be mis- applied. Of course, for a few years the evil effects of this would not be observable in the military resources of the government. Only the ravages of time could deprive us of the hundreds of thousands of veterans just released from the active practice of war; and the navy found itself in possession of a respectable fleet, which, though some- what over-specialized in order to meet the peculiar condi- tions of the hostilities, was still fairly modern.
