Dick Prescott's Second Year at West Point

The narrative centers on a group of cadets returning to their tents after a rigorous morning of practical training at West Point. Dressed in functional military attire, they embody the spirit of hard work and discipline rather than the formality of a parade. Under the guidance of Captain McAneny, the cadets have been engaged in the labor-intensive study of field fortifications, specifically digging military trenches, emphasizing the hands-on learning approach that is integral to their education and preparation for future service.
