Summary "The Dreadnought Boys on Battle Practice" by John Henry Goldfrap is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two adolescent cousins, Ned Strong and Herc Taylor, who yearn for a life of adventure beyond the monotony of their rural existence. Inspired by a promotional poster of a U.S. Navy battleship, they decide to enlist in the Navy, anticipating a new life filled with excitement and heroism. At the start of the novel, Ned and Herc are found in their small town, captivated by a poster depicting a sailor on a battleship, which sparks their ambition to join the Navy. Their determination leads them to enlist, resulting in a comedic altercation with a local bully, Hank Harkins, and their grandfather's reluctant approval. The opening sets a tone of youthful enthusiasm and naivety as they transition from farm life to the naval adventure they have long dreamed of, unaware of the challenges and camaraderie that await them on their journey in Uncle Sam's Navy.
