What reading level is Papers in Illinois History And Transactions for the Year volume 11 1906 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I often saw Mr. Lovejoy at my father's house and in the pulpit. He was a very gentle man: not impetuous, but mild: not of that stern stuff of which reformers are supposed to be made. He resembled the St. John of tradition, but not at all the St. Peter. His stand for the right was like that of Jesus, calm, without heat, but firm. My hear- ing Garrison in October, 1830, had made me hate slavery; the Lovejoy tragedy intensified the feeling. But I shall not tell of that great con- troversy, nor of ...my work in the famous Under Ground Railroad for fugitive slaves ; I shall tell of an incident to which my helping a run- away slave led, though I begin far back.
The week of our arrival in Carrollton, in May of 1831, was one of ex- citement and stir in the little town. There was to be the wedding of Edward Dickinson Baker, a young man not yet twenty-one, with the widow Lee, older than he. I am not sure whether I then heard for the first time that French custom, the charivari or shivaree. A mock serenade of tin pans and horns, often inflicted upon ill-mated couples.
