What reading level is Horse Foot And Dragoons Sketches of Army Life At Home And Abroad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Days pass in this way. We cross the great plains, almost imperceptibly reaching a higher altitude day by day ; we march over the divides and move up through the foot-hills, higher and higher into the mountains. Once, under the shadow of a huge mountain peak, we camp near a small military post, the officers of which bring their families to visit us, and it is a novel sight to our eyes to see delicate and refined ladies and pretty little children seated around our camp-fire, and listen- ing to th...e lively music of a really excellent string-band, made up from among the enlisted men. Sometimes the line of our march takes us through great caiions, by the sides of and through roaring streams, over steep and dangerous mountain trails, where the wagons often experience delay and difficulty in passing.
A train on the march under these circumstances makes a picture not soon to be forgotten. Over the level prairie the wagons rumble along quietly and smoothly enough. At the occasional coulees perhaps there has been some hard pulling, but the patient, strong, willing army mules^ — most unjustly de- rided of four-footed beasts — have dragged the heavy wagons through one after another, and the long line stretches its slowly moving length out over the prairie again, at the head the quartermaster, sometimes some crony, the doctor perhaps, riding with him to keep him company.
