What reading level is Our United States Army book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
W. A. Bell, in an article on the Pacific Railroads, describes, after witnessing it, as follows : "We pundits of the far East, stood upon that embank- ment, only about a thousand miles this side of sunset, and backed westward before that hurrying corps of sturdy operators with a mingled feeling of amusement, curiosity, and profound respect. On they came. A tight car, drawn by a single horse, gallops up to the front with its load of rails. Two men seize the end of a rail and start forward, the re...st of the gang taking hold by twos, until it is clear of the car. They came forward at a run. At the word of command the rail is dropped in its place, right side up with care, while the same process goes on at the other side of the car. Less than thirty seconds to a rail for each gang, and so four rails go down to the minute. Quick work, you say, but the fellows on the Union Pacific are tremendously in earnest. The moment the car is empty it is tipped over on the side of the track to let the next loaded car pass it, and then it is tipped back again ; and it is a sight to see it go flying back for another load, propelled by a horse at full gallop at the end of 60 or 80 feet of rope, ridden by a young Jehu, who drives furiously.
