What reading level is Wigan An Historical Sketch With a Note On Its Free Public Library for the Meet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The number of prisoners taken amounted to 800 men, with a thousand stand of arms, and 2, 000 in treasure.
In the following month the Earl of Derby regained possession of the town, and was again defeated after a sharp struggle. During this fight a body of Royalist marksmen took refuge in the church tower, and kept up a galling fire on the enemy. They did not surrender until Colonel Roseworm threatened to blow up the whole church unless they desisted. Finding that the people of Wigan remained fir...mly attached to the Royalist 13 cause, Colonel Ashton, the Parliamentary commander, ordered the outworks and fortifica- tions of the town to be demolished, and caused the gates and posts at the entrances to Standish- gate, Wallgate, Hallgate, and Millgate, to be thrown down and destroyed. From this time until the year 1648, Wigan was left alone, although much Royalist treasure was known to be concealed in the place ; but when, in this year, Oliver Cromwell had driven the Scotch army under the Duke of Hamilton from Preston, he pursued the flying troops through Wigan, where they had found quarters on the night of the i8th of August, and overthrew them at the pass of Winwick.
