What reading level is The Battle of Rhode Island book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The conflict was over, the Americans held their position and controlled the field of battle. Anticipations that the struggle would be renewed the next day, Sunday, were not fulfilled, as both armies were occupied in the burial of the dead and the care of the wounded. Col. 8 Campbell of the Twenty-second British Regiment asked per- mission of Gen. Sullivan during the day to seek on the field for his nephew who had been killed by his side, but whose body he could not remove as they were so closel...y pursued. At noon, a letter from Gen. Washington was received, stating that Lord Howe had left New York with five thousand men to reinforce Newport. It became known that a fleet was off Block Island, and a letter from Boston announced that Count D'Estaing could not return as soon as was expected. In these circumstances, a retreat to the mainland was unanimously ap- proved. The difficulty of transporting an army with its baggage across a wide waterway in the face of an enemy of at least equal force was keenly appreciated.
