Summary "Cadet Life at West Point" by Hugh T. Reed is a historical account written in the early 20th century, reflecting on military education and experience at the United States Military Academy during the late 19th century. The book delves into the regimented life of cadets and serves as both a memoir and a guide for those interested in pursuing a military career, capturing the challenges and experiences faced during their formative years at this prestigious institution. At the start of this memoir, Reed recounts the fervent desire he had as a young boy to attend West Point, underscoring his early admiration for the military. He describes the meticulous process of seeking appointment as a cadet, detailing his determination to overcome obstacles such as poor eyesight and familial resistance. The narrative introduces his journey from childhood dreams to the rigorous preparations required for admission, establishing a tone that mixes nostalgia with the gravity of the military training environment. As Reed progresses into his experiences at the academy, he provides a glimpse into the strict discipline, camaraderie, and the demanding expectations that shape the life of a plebe, marking the beginning of a compelling exploration of cadet life.
