What reading level is Heroes And Heroines of the Fort Dearborn Massacre a Romantic And Tragic History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the place on the lake shore a few blocks to the north, where Wells' signal halted the column over the parallel sand ridges southwest- erly along the prairie and through the bushy ravines between, the running fight continued probably as far as the present intersection of Twenty-first street and Indiana avenue, where one of our soldiers was slain and scalped, and still lies buried. Just over on Michigan avenue must have been the little eminence on the prairie on which Heald made his last ral...ly, and right before us the skulking savages, who had given away at the advance of our men, gathered in their rear around the few wagons which had vainly sought to keep under the cover of our line.
"If this gaunt old cottonwood, long known as the 'Massacre Tree, ' could speak, what a tale of horror it would tell. For tradition, strong as Holy Writ, affirms that between this tree and its neighbor, the roots of which still remain beneath the pavement, the baggage wagon containing twelve children of the white families of the fort, and one young savage climbed into it, tomahawked the entire group.
