What reading level is Lincoln in the Telegraph Office : Recollections of the United States Military Telegraph Corps During the Civil War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On many occasions, telegrams from irrespon- sible persons were received at the War Depart- ment, generally addressed to the President, criti- cizing the Administration, or some of the gener- als in the army, and volunteering advice concern- ing political and military matters. One of these free-lance advisers, named Maxwell, lived in Philadelphia, and scarcely a month passed in which he did not telegraph direct to the Presi- dent. My memory recalls several of these tele- grams. I will quote two ...only as fair samples of many others.
During Burnside's unsuccessful campaign be- fore Fredericksburg late in 1862, there was a great deal of newspaper talk about certain of his gen- erals, formerly under McClellan, being out of sympathy with and jealous of Burnside; and the court-martial of Fitz-John Porter then in prog- ress had as a basis for its charges the contention that Porter failed to promptly support Pope in August, 1862, because of his partizan friendship for McClellan. The President showed no sur- prise when he received the following telegram from his unknown adviser : 167 LINCOLN IN THE TELEGRAPH OFFICE Philadelphia, December Id, 1862.
