What reading level is Self Made Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About this time General Wash- ington authorized the formation of a picked rifle regiment, to be commanded by Colonel Daniel Morgan. The latter distinguish- ed officer availed himself of the opportunity placed in his hand to select from all the army none but the best men. Among others, his choice fell upon Posey, who was at once honored with a cap- taincy. In this regiment, surrounded by master-spirits who look- ed on danger as their comrade, Posey distinguished himself equal- ly with his gallan...t companions. It would be unfair to say more, for every man in that regiment was a patriot. One of the prin- cipal uses of a rifle corps is to harass an enemy rather than fight him ; to engage the picket-guards, cut off the supplies, and sur- prise detached parties. Detected in such dangerous tactics, the rifleman receives no quarter, and, indeed, expects none ; but the great importance of the service renders it vitally important to have none but the most reliable men in the corps. Morgan's regiment was essentially the " crack" one of the day, and by the daring rapidity of its movements performed inestimable service in the American cause.
