Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"America First" by Frances Nimmo Greene is a historical fiction work likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds during the World War I era, centering around themes of patriotism and American identity as seen through the eyes of its young characters. The narrative follows multiple perspectives, including that of Danny Harding, a tenderfoot Boy Scout grappling with his feelings of inadequacy and his desire to serve his country, and Riego Yañez, a Mexican boy navigating his new life in America amidst the complexities of immigrant identity and loyalty. The opening of "America First" introduces the character of Danny Harding, who is distressed about being left behind when his Scout patrol is called to action. His mother ultimately encourages him to join, highlighting a new understanding of patriotism. Simultaneously, we meet Riego Yañez, who alongside his family, transitions from life in a troubled Mexico to a hopeful existence in America. Greene's work captures the struggles of youth in times of war, the challenge of loyalty, and the awakening of a sense of duty towards one's nation, making for a compelling exploration of the emotional and moral complexities during a pivotal time in American history.
