| Summary | "Dick Prescott's First Year at West Point; Or, Two Chums in the Cadet Gray" by H. Irving Hancock is a novel written during the early 20th century. This coming-of-age story follows the experiences of two young men, Dick Prescott and Greg Holmes, as they navigate the challenging and disciplined life at the United States Military Academy at West Point, highlighting their aspirations of becoming officers in the U.S. Army. The opening of the book sets the stage for Dick and Greg's arrival at West Point, where they face a series of examinations to gain entry as cadets. The atmosphere is charged with nervous anticipation as the boys await their turns, revealing their backgrounds and the rigorous requirements they must meet. As they interact with fellow candidates and start to understand the strict military culture, the tension between excitement and fear becomes evident. Their journey serves not only as a trial of physical and mental endurance but also as a means of character development as they confront their fears, make new friends, and learn to respect the traditions and challenges of military life.
