What reading level is The Life of Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Baker succeeded Hardin in 1844 ; Lincoln was elected in 1846, and Logan was nominated, but defeated, in 1848. Lincoln publicly declined to contest the homination with Baker in 1844 ; Hardin did the same for Lincoln in 1846 (although both seem to have acted reluctant- ly), and Lincoln refused to run against Logan in 1848. Col. Matheny and others insist, with great show of reason, that the agreement actually existed ; and, if such was the case, it was practically carried out, although Lincoln was... a candidate against Baker, and Hardin against Lincoln, as long as either of them thought there was the smallest prospect of success. They might have done this, however, merely to keep other and less tractable candidates out of the field. That Lincoln would cheerfully have made such a bargain to insure himself a seat 276 LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
in Congress, there can be no doubt ; but the supposition that he did do it can scarcely be reconciled with the feeling dis- played by him in the conflict with Baker, or the persistency of Hardin, to a very late hour, in the contest of 1846.
