What reading level is The Peninsular Campaign And Its Antecedents book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In reference to this paragraph, it is proper to say that the way of getting the right wing over the Chickahominy (in other words of " uniting the two wings* of the army") in time to take part in the battle, " make a vigorous pursuit," or to do whatever else the occa- sion might require, was the one theme in the minds of all, at Head- quarters as elsewhere. The bridges over the river had been ordered the night before, and Col. Alexander had spent the whole night in bridging the numerous ditches ...intersecting the bottom lands, all for this single object. Gen. Smith's division had been ordered clown to the " New Bridge," and Brook's brigade was waiting at the bridge for the order to pass.
I have stated in my official report (p. 35) that the " New Bridge was passable" for all arms at 8.15 a. m. ; that a few hours later I found the bottom lands so completely overflowed that, while the enemy held the commanding heights in front with artillery, I did not think the passage practicable ; and that at that moment I was ut- terly ignorant of the condition of affairs on the other side.
