What reading level is Sketches of America And Americans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As we travelled along toward Sleepy Hol low, we shut them all from sight, hearing and smell. We saw the foliage as Irving must many times have seen it glistening in the morning rain. We were travelling over the road that once on an au tumn s night was traversed by the disconsolate school master, Ichabod Crane. We could almost see in the mist his bullet-head and small peaked hat, his thin figure mounted on the ambling scare crow of a horse, his flapping coat-tails and, his de jected air, now tha...t his dream of happy opulence had been shattered by the calculatingly flirtatious Katrina. We passed the place where he had imag ined the ghostly presence in Major Andre s tree. A tree is there now but surely tis not over seventy-five years old! The tree that marked the place of the capture of the British spy has doubt less long since gone the way of him whom it com memorated. A monument now stands beside the road telling briefly of Arnold s treason, Andre s capture and its discovery. There is also recorded the names of the captors and a testimonial from George Washington of the worth of their work.
