Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cadet Days: A Story of West Point
Nor had he ever regularly attended any school. There were no schools to speak of near any Of the garrisons at which his father was stationed; but Dr. Graham was a man of scholarly tastes, a graduate of a famous university in Scotland, and one who by faithful study kept abreast of the leading minds in his profession. People gen erally led a very healthful open-air life on the broad Western frontier, and Dr. Graham had few patients to claim his time. He planned, there fore, all the studies for his two boys, he himself hearing them recite in history, geography, and arithmetic, while their devoted mother, at whose knee they had successively learned their A B C's, and whose fragile white hand had guided their chubby fists in the tracing of their first pot hooks, was their instructor in the other rudi ments.
