What reading level is Recollections of Central America And the West Coast of Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A few months later at Panama, we met three or four French officers on their way to Salvador, by the invita- tion of the President ; they were to instruct the army in all the French military tactics, and were most curious to hear all about the country and soldiers they were going to teach.
One of them was a colonel of infantry — a clever gentlemanly man ; another a cavalry RECOLLECTIONS OF CENTRAL AMERICA. 127 captain, who clashed his spurred heels together whenever he bowed to a senorita ; and ...two or three others of inferior grade.
I pictured to myself the sensation they would create in Salvador, more particularly amongst the ladies, accustomed only to see their own dark-skinned, dirty, and by no means refined military men. I thought, perhaps, it might lead to the army becoming the fashion, and thus inducing young men of good family to leave the aristocratic and lucrative counter^ for the vulgar and ill-jpaid profession of arms. But these dreams were never I fear, realized, my dashing French friends being soon driven out of the country by a revolution which deprived Barrios of his power.
