What reading level is Men And Events of Half a Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Less than a year ago I was told b} r an intelligent gentle- man, since deceased, who lived here in 1833, that when offi- cers of the U. S. Army were on their way to Washington with the Indian warrior Black Hawk, a day was spent here to en- able their captive to launch a canoe and glide up to one of the bluffs just above here to a locality which he pointed out as the exact place where the wigwam stood in which he was born, and the grave of his mother. That locality, as described to me, is the hi...gh bluff and plateau where the river ap- proaches nearest on the south side of and included within Riverside Cemetery grounds. I asked my informant if the savage evinced any emotion, common to civilized man under like circumstances. He said : " Yes, every manifestation but tears ; the nervous excitement, the expanding chest, the quivering lips. " Every phase of humanity was exalted, in my estimation, when I heard that the Napoleon of a savage em- pire could turn aside from his journey, to visit the scenes of his forest childhood and a wild mother's grave.
