What reading level is Skirmishes And Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The capital of our nation was purged of the foul stain that dishonored her in the eyes of the na- tions, and that gave the lie direct to our most solemn Declaration. The fugitive-slave acts that disfigured our statute-book were blotted out, and fugitive-slave-stealer acts filled their places. The seal of freedom, immediate, unconditional, and perpetual, was set upon the broad outlying lands of the Republic, and then came that crowning act which in its results shall make slavery for- ever imposs...ible, and liberty the one supreme, unchangeable law in every part of our domains. What we have done is an earnest of what we mean to do. After nearly four years, of war, and war on such a scale as the world has never before seen, the people have once more, and in terms too emphatic to be misunderstood, proclaimed 272 SKIRMISHES AND SKETCHES. Their undying purpose. With a unanimity rarely equalled, a people that had fought seven years against a tax of threepence on the pound, and that was rapidly advancing to the front rank of nations through the victories of peace, a people jealous of its liberties and proud of its prosperity, has re- elected to the chief magistracy a man under whose administration burdensome taxes have been levied, immense armies marshalled, imperative drafts or- dered, and fearful sufferings endured.
