What reading level is The Story of the Indian Mutiny book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At midnight he marched silently through the city, without attracting any notice from the enemy, who were perhaps too busy plundering elsewhere.
They had hardly joined their comrades, when a terrific explosion announced the destruction of the Muchee Bhawun, blown up by a train set to go off in half-an-hour. One soldier had been accidentally left behind, who, strange to say, escaped unhurt from the explosion, and next morning walked coolly into the Residency, meet- ing no one to stop him, perhaps... because he was quite naked, and the people took him for a madman or a holy man!
It was sad news that awaited Colonel Palmer.
His daughter, while sitting in an upper room of the Residency, had been wounded by a shell, one of the first among many victims. She died in a few days, by which time the besieged had to mourn a greater loss. The Residency building, elevated above the rest, was soon seen to be a prominent mark for the enemy's fire, and on the first day, after a shell had burst harmlessly in his own room, Lawrence was begged to move into less dangerous quarters.
