What reading level is Sword of Liberty the Story of Two Revolutions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He found the army crossing to the west bank of the Hudson at King's Ferry after its feint upon New York. And some- where in those pitiful lines of soldiers toiling along the hot, dusty way, he found a body of light infantry that Washington had formed in his absence and of which he was now to have command. La- fayette was prouder of these ragged troops than he had been of his superbly uniformed King's Dragoons.
Hounded by famine, the army struggled south- ward along the Hudson. Soon they were in... an almost mockingly beautiful land, that reach of smiling valleys just back of the Palisades. Some- times their way was through Sleepy-Hollow-like peace and plenty. But even where plenty was, it was not for the patriot soldiers. While the rural sections of America were generally far more loyal to the cause of liberty than were the cities, yet here was a country-side steeped in Toryism. The bare necessities of the troops were met only by forages at the point of the bayonet.
Yet all along Washington's hope fed upon visions of great things to be accomplished when the second French division should come that is, until that hot day at the end of August when an unwelcome mes- senger came riding up to headquarters.
