What reading level is Life of General Lewis Cass book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upon this point I have nothing to say. I would not utter a word of reproach against any of the gallant men who have served in Florida. I would not, if I could, tarnish a single laurel gathered in other and happier fields. The difficulties they had to encounter were great, and in some points unexpected. And I be- lieve that the general conduct of our officers and soldiers, during this trying warfare, was worthy of the best period in our military annals. Of the mili- tary service and claims of Ge...neral Scott, few have a higher estimate than I have, and no person has heard me utter a sentiment of disrespect towards him. Nor shall I reproach myself for any part which I took in his selection for the command. Suc- cess is not always a true test of merit, nor the want of it of incapacity. When General Scott took the command the season of operations was short. Every thing was to collect, to combine, to organize. I saw his difficulties then, and I can still better appreciate them now.
" I may be permitted to say, however, that his plan of operations did not seem to me well adapted to the nature of the country and the habits of the ene- my ; and this fact is known to some of the persons officially connected with me in the war department.
