What reading level is The Great Modern American Stories : An Anthology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

At a short re- move upon the same temporary platform was an officer in the uniform of his rank, armed. He was a captain. A sentinel at each end of the bridge stood with his rifle in the position known as "support," that is to say, vertical in front of the left shoulder, the hammer resting on the forearm thrown straight across the chest — a formal and unnatural position, enforcing an erect carriage of the body. It did not appear to be the duty of these two men to know what w^s occurring at the c...entre of the bridge; they merely blockaded the two ends of the foot planking that traversed it.
Beyond one of the sentinels nobody was in sight; the rail- road ran straight away into a forest for a hundred yards, then, curving, was lost to view. Doubtless there was an out- post farther along. * The other bank of the stream was open ground — a gentle acclivity topped with a stockade of vertical tree trunks, loopholed for rifles, with a single embrasure *Froin "In the Midst of Life," published by Boni & Livcright Copyright by The Neale Publishing Company.
