What reading level is The Strange Story of Harpers Ferry With Legends of the Surrounding Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Patterson's army occupied Harper's Ferry for several days and helped themselves to most of what was left by the rebels. Whatever may be said of their exploits on the field of battle their achieve- ments in the foraging line are certainly worthy of mention in this and all other impartial histories of that period. The United States army at that time was composed mostly of "three month's men" and certainly, it must be said that if they were not thieves before their enlistment their proficiency in ...the art of stealing was extraordinary, considering the short time they were learning this accomplishment so nec- cessary or at least so becoming in a thorough cam- paigner, esecially while in an enemy's country. Hen's teeth are articles the scarcity of which is pro- verbial in all countries, but it can be safely averred that, when this anny left Harper's Ferry, the teeth of those useful fowls were as plentiful at that place as any other part of them, and Saint Columbkill him- DURING THE WAR. 127 self could not desire more utter destruction to the race of cocks than was inflicted on them at Harper's Ferry by General Patterson's army.
