What reading level is The Battle of Gettysburg, From the History of the Civil War in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sweitzer takes position on the right of the latter in the wood where the combat is going on, his left adjoining the ravine and facing south, the rest of the line forming a right angle and facing west ; Tilton prolongs his front in this direction along the cleared slope which rises as far as the orchard.
While this movement is being executed, Kershaw, crossing the ravine, as we have mentioned, advances against these very posi- tions. His attack is at first directed against Sweitzer, but the latt...er, being posted on fiivorable ground, offers resistance. He then turns against Tilton's brigade, which is much more exposed.
It has no support, its right is unprotected, and it fulls back.
Its retreat is followed by that of Sweitzer, despite the energy with which it defends itself in the wood. The troops of the Third corps that are fighting on the left of these two brigades, whose arrival had brought them assistance, are again compro- mised, ^till farther on the extreme left the combat has extended its area and assumed greater importance ; all the troops at Sykes' disposal are successively directed toward that portion of the line which Meade has entrusted to his care.
