What reading level is The Lives of Eminent Philadelphians Now Deceased book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This troop, at Trenton and Princeton, was the body-guard of General Washing- ton, and were steady and faithful to the " father of his country" in all the vicissitudes of her struggle. After the battle of Trenton, in order to reconnoitre the position of the enemy, and to obtain such information as was required before the further movement of our victorious army upon the enemy, then at Princeton, six members of the First Troop were detailed for this hazardous service. They were John Dunlap, James ...Hunter, Thomas Peters, William Pol- lard, and James and Samuel Caldwell, under the command of the first named. How this duty was performed is well described by one of the actors of this period of the war : " We met with little success in our way, or in the immediate vicinity of Princeton, to which we had approached within three miles. The ravages of the enemy had struck such terror, that no rewards could tempt the inhabitants, though otherwise well disposed, to go to Princeton on this errand. But it being fully resolved not to return while there was a chance of success, it was concluded to pass on and even to go around Princeton, expecting in the rear they would be less guarded.
