What reading level is Life of Robert Edward Lee book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" If one was lucky enough to capture a new hat, the torment was un- ceasing. From all sides went up the cry, "Come out of that hat, I know you're in there, I see your feet sticking out. " If the sound of cheering was heard in the distance, it was prolonged with this comment: "There goes a rabbit, or General Jackson. " Yet with all his sense of mirth and love of jest, the Confederate soldier was not devoid of reverence, and upon occasion expressed it with dignity and even impressiveness. Let me ...illustrate. A few weeks after the death of Jackson an officer of Lee's army approached a bridge which was guarded by a sentry. It was late in the evening and the stars were shining. He drew from his pocket a "pass" received some time before from General Jackson and handed it to the soldier. He took it, read it, and looking up reverently toward the stars, remarked, "That will pass you into heaven, but not across this bridge. " It is the tendency of literary criticism to depreciate or disparage the poetry which derives its inspiration from the fervor and passion of war.
