What reading level is The Battle of Princeton : a Preliminary Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He certainly would have avoided the high ground further to the left, because the whole movement was designed to be a surprise and troops on that ridge would have been visible from the Post Road. If he kept well below the higher level he need not have been seen from that direction, nor would he himself necessarily have observed an enemy moving over the more distant part of those fields. Further, the beginning of his progress across Thomas Clarke's farm was probably through woods, the first clear...ed ground being that which became the battle-field. Mercer, with his own brigade under Col. Haslet, was south of William Clarke's house and near the farm buildings before he recognized the British. It is probable that Mawhood had not discovered him until a little before that very time. The Americans immediately entered the orchard, which was enclosed by a heavy hedge. It is possible that Mercer intended to use this hedge as an ob- stacle against the dragoons ; and the apprehension of a mounted charge may have deterred him from falling back IS on the main body, which would have been the obvious course in the face of a foe numerically as strong and better discip- lined and equipped.
