What reading level is When Lincoln Fought for a Bridge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Judd. "One of the best men to state a case forcibly and convincingly that I ever heard. And his personality will appeal to any judge or jury hereabouts. I heard him first at the waterways convention at Chicago back in 1847, when we were after President Polk's scalp for his vetoing the bill for the improvement of rivers and con- struction of harbors in Lake Michigan." So the "young lawyer from Sangamon County" came to the Mississippi. He meas- ured the bridge and, aided by a small boy named "Bud..." Brayton, tested the currents of the river by timing floating logs and planks.
And he came into court equipped with knowl- edge that the costly opposition had failed to consider. His plain and homely logic shat- tered their oratory and while he failed to win the case, the jury ended nine to three in his favor.
The suit was never retried. Subsequent court action permitted the bridge to remain.
Thanks to the ability of Abraham Lincoln, railroading beyond the Mississippi became an active artery bringing growth to the Western Empire.
