What reading level is The Frigate Constitution the Central Figure of the Navy Under Sail book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
War was declared against England on June 18, 1812, and again the entry in the Constitution s log exhibits a characteristic spirit. It is : June 20. At 5 P. M. The Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Read, had the crew turned up, and read to them the declaration of war between the United States and the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, that had passed the Senate and authorizing the Presi dent James Madison to employ the Armies and Navy of the United States against the above written powers.... The Crew manifested their Zeal in Support of the Honor of the United States Flagg by requesting of leave to Cheer on the occasion (granted them). Crew returned to their duty, light airs from the Southward and East ward.
It was during this war that the Constitution found her most eventful career and earned her chief laurels. It may be well therefore to say a word about the preparation of the country for war and the odds against which our few frigates had to contend. The war sprang principally from inability to maintain our neutrality between France and England, and it has been called the second war of independence, independence on the high seas.
