What reading level is War Memories of Fort Monroe And Vicinity Containing An Account of the Memorable book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The connections of the peninsula with the main land, are by the narrow strip of land above referred to, and by a bridge over Mill Creek, ap- proached by an artificial causeway, some half mile in length.
The fort is built at the extremity of the peninsula and com- mands the entrance to Hampton Roads, into which empties the water of the James, Elizabeth and Nansemond rivers. The waters on all sides of the fort are salt, augmented or diminished in intensity by the fresh water floods coming dow^n t...he James river; though at all times, and in all tides, they are highly saline. The country between the point of the peninsula and York river, distant twenty miles north, and thence across to the James, is cut up by numerous small -streams, which are more or less brackish, as the rains are profuse or scanty.
These small streams all communicate w'ith the Chesapeake, Hampton Roads, or the James. The land upon which the fort is built is some four feet above mean liigh-water mark. Salt marshes are on the northesist of the fort, but these seem to have but little, if any effect, upon its sanitary condition.
