What reading level is Our Holidays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Was patriotism dead? Was theConstitution only a bit of waste paper? Was the Union gone?
The outlook was indeed grave. There was treason in Congress, treason inthe Supreme Court, treason in the army and navy. Confusion and discordwere everywhere. To use Mr. Lincoln's forcible figure of speech, sinnerswere calling the righteous to repentance. Finally the flag, insulted andfired upon, trailed in surrender at Sumter; and then came thehumiliation of the riot at Baltimore, and the President for a few... dayspractically a prisoner in the capital of the nation.
[Illustration: PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND TAD] But his apprenticeship had been served, and there was to be no morefailure. With faith and justice and generosity he conducted for fourlong years a war whose frontiers stretched from the Potomac to the RioGrande; whose soldiers numbered a million men on each side. The labor, the thought, the responsibility, the strain of mind and anguish of soulthat he gave to his great task, who can measure? "Here was place for noholiday magistrate, no fair-weather sailor, " as Emerson justly said ofhim.
