What reading level is The Burden Bearer : An Epic of Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Washington The officers of government wore smiles; Guns thundering from the capitol's green hill Proclaimed in salvos over listening miles The triumph of the slave power, — victory won At cost of rectitude; the powers of ill Wearing the victor's crown. Blue Lodges, formed throughout the exultant South, Sought to take quick possession, and extend To the new territory slavery's sway; While through the thoughtful North, from mouth to mouth, Was passed the word of warning, to defend Free soil fr...om this pollution. Day by day The lines were closelier drawn. New England formed Emigrant Aid Societies, and soon Came hardy settlers, taking up the land For farming. While the foes of freedom stormed, 59 Its friends grew more determined that the boon Should not be lost; and so the fires were fanned To ever threatening flame. A man arose, — A man of conscience, yet with judgment bent By personal wrongs, — to lead the freemen on, John Brown of Ossawatomie; and those Who felt his purpose right assistance lent To aid its consummation.
