What reading level is Grant As a Soldier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has cost him the aban- donment of one Vicksburg campaign and the bloody failure of another. How much it is to cost in the future in the actual capture of Vicksburg we shall see. But he has succeeded. Yet not wholly. McClernand still commands a corps. Encouraged by his success in wresting from McClernand the command of the river expedition, Grant determines to go further and strip McClernand of military au- thority completely. He adopts much the same trick that Halleck had played upon him (Gr...ant) at Pitts- burg Landing. He issued order No. 13, by which he charges the 13th corps (McClernand's) with the duty of garrisoning the west bank of the Missis- sippi. The effect of this would have been to scat- ter the corps among the multitude of posts along ON TO VICKSBURG. 121 the river established to guard navigation, and leave him without a command, that is, to shelve him. But Grant mistook his man. His subordinate was not of the same stuff as Halleck' s subordinate. McClernand was not a fool, nor was he destitute of manhood.
