What reading level is Memoir of Col. Thomas Knowlton, of Ashford, Connecticut book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the battle of Long Island the rangers were sent to reinforce Lord Stirling. All at once the firing in that quarter ceased. Convinced in his own mind that Stirling had surrendered, Knowlton instantly ordered a retreat into the lines, which was effected with great celerity, and just in time to save them from a large body of British Light Horse, who a mo- ment after galloped to the field. Thus the accurate judgment and quick decision of the Colonel rescued the regiment from a sword wielded that... day with pitiless ferocity.
Subsequently to this disastrous battle, while the Americans were occu- pying the peninsula of New York, and the British the city of Brooklyn, Gen. Washington was extremely anxious to learn the strength and con- templated movements of the enemy. He accordingly summoned a council of officers in order that they might deliberate together on a mat- ter of so great importance. They thought it necessary to send a man into the heart of the British camp, provided any one of proper qualifica- tions could be found, who was willing to go.
