What reading level is The Road to Glory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a pic- ture to stir the imagination, to send the thrills of patriotism chasing up and down one's spine: the gloomy chapel with its adobe walls and raftered ceiling; the line of stern-faced, powder-grimed men in their tattered frontier dress, crimsoned band- ages knotted about the heads of many of them; the fever-racked but indomitable Bowie stretched upon his cot; the young commander — for Travis was but twenty-seven — striding up and down, in his hand a naked sword, in his eyes the fire... of patriotism.
On the morning of the 6th of March, before the sun had risen, Santa Anna launched his grand 174 Under the Flag of the Lone Star assault. Their bugles sounding the ominous notes of the degiiello, which signified that no quarter would be given, the Mexican infantry, provided with scaling-ladders, swept forward at the double. Behind them rode the cavalry, with orders to sabre any man who flinched. As the Mexican columns came within range the Texans met them with a blast of lead which shrivelled and scattered them as the breath of winter shrivels and scatters the autumn leaves.
