Description
Excerpt from Life at West Point: The Making of the American Army Officer; His Studies, Discipline, and Amusements
The author of this volume, Mr. H. Irving Hancock, enjoys a large acquaintance in the Army, having had much experience With it in the West before the Spanish War, as a war correspondent in the Santiago Expedi tion, and subsequently in the campaign in the Philippines, Where he accompanied our troops in many of the engagements during the early hostilities with the insurgents. His Observations have given him an excel lent opportunity to express an opinion as to the value of the training at the Military Academy.
In the preparation of this book he has spent much time at West Point in studying its working methods and ideals, and I have taken the greatest pleasure in giving him the fullest facilities for doing so.
