| Summary | "Uncle Sam's Boys in the Ranks; or, Two Recruits in the United States Army" by H. Irving Hancock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on two young boys, Hal Overton and Noll Terry, who are eager to enlist in the United States Army, driven by a sense of patriotism and adventure. As they navigate the challenges of military life, they encounter a mix of camaraderie and the harsh realities of the discipline that comes with serving in the army. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the boys and their friends in a small New Jersey town, highlighting their differing opinions about soldiers and patriotism. After a heated debate, Hal and Noll resolve to enlist, despite the criticisms from others. The opening scenes depict their journey to the recruiting office, interactions with various characters, including a bully named Tip Branders, and their first experiences as recruits. Through humor and friendship, the narrative sets the stage for their transformation from inexperienced boys into disciplined soldiers, leading to adventures that await them in the army.
