What reading level is The Rise of the American Proletarian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Pittsburg the troops fired into the people who thereupon turned and attacked the militia so tha't the latter were driven away and chased into a round- house, but succeeded in escaping the next day.
These first attempts at rebellion were crushed by the military forces and the working class subsided for the time being into apparent tranquility. But how lit- tle reliance could be placed in the continuance of ac- quiescence in the rule of the new greater capitalism was evident in 1880, when a la...rge number of strikes occurred. The agitation for the eight-hour day now began to assunie large proportions and the Knights of Labor appeared as the champions of that demand. The Knights of Labor was a secret organization, in its in- ception, and was a curious admixture of labor organi- zation and a sort of free masonry. An air of mystery surrounded its earlier history and it did not attain any real importance until during the first five or six years of the eighties. Its declarations have a certain flavor of the complaint of the smaller middle class of that pe- riod as the declaration of principles refers to "the alarming aggressiveness of the power of money and corporations, " phrases which might have been easily uttered by a representative of the Farmers' Alliance.
