My son, Richard. He is home on his furlough from the Military Academy at West Point. Words would fail in describing motherly pride with which Mrs. Prescott introduced her son to Mrs. Davidson, wife of the new pastor. "I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Prescott," said Mrs. Davidson, looking up, for up she had to glance in order to see the face of this tall, distinguished-looking cadet.

My son, Richard. He is home on his furlough from the Military Academy at West Point. Words would fail in describing motherly pride with which Mrs. Prescott introduced her son to Mrs. Davidson, wife of the new pastor. "I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Prescott," said Mrs. Davidson, looking up, for up she had to glance in order to see the face of this tall, distinguished-looking cadet. Dick Prescott's return bow was made with the utmost grace, yet without affectation. His natty straw hat he held in his right hand, close to his breast. Mrs. Davidson was a sensible and motherly woman, who wished to give this young man the pleasantest greeting, but she was plainly at a loss to know what to say. Like many excellent and ordinarily well-informed American people, she had not the haziest notions of West Point.

Autorenporträt
American chemist and writer Harrie Irving Hancock is best known for his works on juvenile literature and children's books from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as for creating a fictional account of a German invasion of the United States. On January 16, 1868, Hancock was born in Massachusetts. Laura (Oakes) Hancock and William Henry Hancock were his parents. Nellie Stein and Hancock were wed on December 21, 1887. Their two daughters, Doris Hancock and Vivian Morris Hancock, were reportedly adopted. Hancock was a prolific writer for Leslie's Weekly, the New York Journal, and the New York World who preferred to work at night. A significant portion of his work was produced in the genre of "boy's books" popularized by the renowned Stratemeyer Syndicate. This genre was created on the presumption which proved to be extremely successful that "boys want the thrill of feeling 'grown-up'" and that they enjoy books that provide them with that feeling, particularly those that are part of series in which the same heroes frequent each other.
