What reading level is The Private Letters of Lieut General Scott And Ex President Buchanans Reply book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— The first and most prominent among these charges is my re- fusal to immediately garrison nine enumerated fortifications, scatter- ed over six of the Southern States, according to the recommenda- tion of General Scott, in his " views " addressed to the War De- partment on the 29th and 30th of October, 1860. And it has even been alleged that if this had been done it might have prevented the civil war.
This refusal is attributed, without the least cause, to the influ- ence of Governor Floyd. All... my Cabinet must bear me witness that I was the President myself, responsible for all the acts of the Administration ; and certain it is that during the last six months previous to the 29th December, 1860, the day on which he resigned his office, after my request, he exercised less influence on the Ad- ministration than any other member of the Cabinet. Mr. Holt was immediately thereafter transferred from the Post Office Department to that of AYar ; so that, from this time until the 4th of March, 1861, which was by far the most important period of the Adminis- tration, he performed the duties of Secretary of War to my entire satisfaction.
