What reading level is The Life of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
171 dred and eighty miles long from the outlet of the Miami to the Falls of Niagara, with a breadth vary- ing from fifteen to sixty miles, and a depth scarce- ly anywhere exceeding twenty fathoms. Its shores are generally sandy or rock-bound, and there- fore dangerous to the navigator. On the northern shore, the extraordinary course of the Thames Riv- er, running nearly parallel to the course of the lake, at no great distance and in the contrary direc- tion to its current, cuts off all the stre...ams, and ac- counts for the almost total absence on that side of inlets and harbours. On the American side the har- bours are more numerous, but all of them have bars except that of Put-in Bay in the Bass Islands, which is accessible for vessels drawing twelve feet. At the mouth of the Sandusky there was a pretty good harbour, but that at Erie was much better. Its comparative proximity, moreover, to the populous portion of Pennsylvania, and especially the great manufacturing town of Pittsburg, between which and the neighbourhood of Erie there was an al- most uninterrupted, though tedious, water commu- nication by the Alleghany and its tributaries, gave it great advantages for the equipment of a naval force.
