What reading level is Personal Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A story was told of Lincoln to the effect that he was driving a two-horse wagon along a muddy road when he met a man coming in the opposite direc- tion. The roads were almost impassable, and when a team got out of the trodden route it was almost sure to get stuck. Both teams were heavily loaded.
20 The fellow called out to Lincoln and demanded that he turn out. Lincoln replied: "'Turn out yourself. " The fellow refused. It was near sunset, and Lincoln was between the other fellow and the settin...g sun. He began to rise from his seat in the wagon, at the same time saying: "If you don't turn out, I'll tell you what I'll do, " and as he continued to rise and his tall form expanded between the man and the setting sun, showing his enormous proportions, the fellow called out: "Don't go any higher, I'll turn out. " After he had passed Lincoln's wagon, he called out: "Say, what would you have done if I hadn't turned out?" Lincoln replied: "I'd 'a' turned out myself. " My father told me he was at the Chennery House in Springfield shortly after General Baker (afterwards killed at Balls Bluff) was elected to the Legislature of Illinois.
