What reading level is The Naval War of 1812; Or, the History of the United States Navy During the Last War With Great Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
l6l generally kept cruising off the end of Long Island Sound, and another off Sandy Hook. Of course America had no means of raising a blockade, as each squadron contained generally a 74 or a razee, vessels too heavy for any in our navy to cope with. Frig- ates and sloops kept skirting the coasts of New Jersey, the Carolinas, and Georgia. Delaware Bay no longer possessed the importance it had during the Revolutionary War, and as the only war vessels in it were some miserable gun-boats, the Briti...sh gen- erally kept but a small force on that station. Chesa- peake Bay became the principal scene of their opera- tions ; it was there that their main body collected, and their greatest efforts were made. In it a num- ber of line-of-battle ships, frigates, sloops, and cutters had been collected, and early in the season Admiral Sir John Warren and Rear-Admiral Cockburn arrived to take command. The latter made numerous de- scents on the coast, and frequently came into contact with the local militia, who generally fled after a couple of volleys.
