What reading level is The Frigate Constitution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The effect of her shot seemed to make the Guerritre reel, and tremble as though she had received the shock of an earthquake." In less than thirty minutes from the time we got alongside of the enemy," reported Captain Hull to the Secretary of the Navy, " she was left without a spar stand- ing, and the hull cut to pieces in such a manner as to make it difficult to keep her above water." The historian has truly said of that conflict: "Isaac Hull was nephew to the unhappy General [who, three days b...efore the Constitution overcame the Guerriere, had capitulated at Detroit], and perhaps the shattered hulk oi the Guerrikre, which the nephew left at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, eight hundred miles east of Boston, was worth for the moment the whole province which the uncle had lost, eight hundred miles to the Westward. . . . No experience of history ever went to the heart of New England more directly than this victory, so peculiarly its own; but the delight was not confined to New England, and extreme though it seemed it was still not extravagant." Therefore it is that the Massachusetts Historical Society, already, in 1812, an organization more than twenty years in existence, now directs this Memo- rial to be submitted — she, the oldest among them, speaking through her Coun- cil for all other similar societies throughout New England.
