What reading level is The Story of the Old World; a European Background to the Story of Our Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was a wooden bridge across the Tiber and the enemy was rapidly approaching it. If only the bridge could be destroyed, the city might yet be saved. Men were sent to cut it down, but before they could finish the work the enemy came up.
Now rushed forward a young man named Horatius and declared, ^^If two others will go with me I will go to the farther end of the bridge and keep the enemy at bay till the bridge can be destroyed." As soon as he said this, two young men leaped forward and the b...rave three were soon at the far end battling like giants with the advance guard of the enemy.
Meanwhile the men with axes were cutting away the bridge, striking blow after blow upon the heavy timbers. Soon the bridge began to totter. The people called to Horatius and his companions to hurry across and save their lives. The two men ran back.
HORATIUS AT THE BRIDGE 71 But not Horatius; he remained and fought the enemy single-handed. Then came the crash of breaking timbers and the bridge fell into the water below.
