What reading level is The Greatness of Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* * * It was marvelous to see how this untutored man, by mere self -discipline and the chastening of his own spirit, had outgrown all meretricious acts and found his way to the grandeur and strength of absolute simplicity. ' ' Lincoln 's voice was not deep and strong as seemed to befit a tall man. It was high and thin — almost grotesquely so. In his debates with Douglas, the feature which almost every surviving listener seems to have preserved is the contrast between the two men as to stature a...nd sound. Douglas was a little man with a big voice — Lincoln a big man with a little voice. But Douglas abused his deep, rich baritone, and his voice wore out, and toward the end of the campaign could not be heard by a large portion of his audience; but Lincoln's thin, high voice carried well, and after he lost his self -consciousness was sufficiently flexible to be effective and persuasive.
People misjudged Lincoln who set him down as a clown or a simple rustic. A second and more careful look at him showed elements of dignity and nobility.
