What reading level is The Washingtons And Their Colonial Homes in West Virginia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There were no forts except Fort Cumberland and Fort Frederick but numerous blockhouses for defense — several near Shepherdstow-n, W. Va. , then Virginia. The settlers were at the mercy of the cruel army.
Richard Morgan, a Welshman, raised a company to defend them until Fort Shepherd, a substantial stone fort was built at Shepherdstown. Around Winchester, the settlers were so defenseless that it brought out clearly that tenderness of heart that General Wash- ington displayed on several occasions... in his life. The historian Norris in the "History of the Lower Shenan- doah" speaks of his distress over the settlers at Frede- rick Town, now Winchester, Virginia.
Norris says: "The victory of the French and Indians greatly emboldened the latter and they made constant raids upon the settlements, and to such a pass had mat- ters come that Washington hastened from Winchester in the ensuing spring to Williamsburg to prevail upon the Governor to augment the forces by additional men and to build a fort at Winchester.
