Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A West Point Treasure; Or, Mark Mallory's Strange Find" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the adventures of Mark Mallory and his group of friends, known as the Banded Seven, who are cadets at West Point Military Academy. This tale intertwines elements of mystery, camaraderie, and humor as they embark on thrilling escapades, including an unexpected discovery in a hidden cave. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mark Mallory, a bold cadet known for defying upperclassmen. He shares a letter from Wicks Merritt, warning of potential trouble but also relaying gossip about their antics, which has garnered attention. The Banded Seven, including characters like Texas and the Parson, find themselves inspired by the letter to explore the nearby mountains. Their exploration leads to the astonishing discovery of a cave, where they soon encounter signs of previous inhabitants—a cache of counterfeit coins and the unsettling remnants of skeletons—setting the stage for a thrilling adventure as they grapple with the mysteries and dangers that lie ahead.
