What reading level is Isaac Jogues, S. J., Discoverer of Lake George book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Stuyvesant wanted to fight and the gunners stood with lighted matches ready to fire, but the colonists were averse to a struggle which they saw was foredoomed to failure. The Governor still hesitated when two ministers approached him. One was Dominie Johannes Megapolensis and the other was his son Samuel.
" Of what avail," said Johannes, " are our poor guns against the broadside of more than sixty? It is wrong to shed blood to no purpose ! " Stuyvesant collapsed, and on September 3d the British... flag was raised over the fort.
When the news of the surrender reached Holland there 41 ISAAC JOGUES was a storm of indignation. Stuyvesant and Megapolensis were forever disgraced, and the Directors of the West In- dian Company issued the following protest : " It is an act that can never be justified that the Director General should stand looking between the gabions whilst two hostile frigates pass by the fort and the mouths of twenty pieces of cannon, and give no order to prevent it ; but, on the contrary, lending an ear to preachers and other chicken-hearted persons, allow himself to be led in from the bulwark between the preachers." The Dominie wrote a defense of his conduct, and at the same time had the courage to ask for certain back pay- ments due to him by the Honorable West Indian Company.
