What reading level is Present Day Life in Alsace Both Within And Beyond Our Lines book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the Alsatian, with his open-handed gene- rosity, gives away nearly as much as he sells ; he is not one to take advantage of a soldier's necessity. All who have been quartered in reconquered Alsace will tell you that living is cheaper there than anywhere else. And I have shown how readily their hearts are won by our men. The gentry behave to the officers as the workmen and the peasants do to the rank and file. The officer, far away from his home, will spend the late afternoon over a cup of t...ea or a game of cards, in some cosy drawing-room, where every one is light-hearted ; and the same may be seen every night, in all parts of the country, a dusk : when bright lights and a warm fire are so welcome at the approach of winter. All the attentions and loving-kindness thus lavished upon the French army are so patent, they afford such irrefutable evidence of the true state of Alsatian feeling, that General de Castelnau observed, when on a recent visit to Alsace : I only wish every Army Corps in France could be sent here in turn.
