Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Motor Boys in the Army; or, Ned, Bob and Jerry as Volunteers" by Clarence Young is a novel likely written in the early 20th century, during the time of World War I. This adventurous tale centers around three friends—Ned, Bob, and Jerry—who are drawn into the fervor of patriotism following the United States' entry into the war against Germany. Their journey begins at a local meeting to support the president, and quickly escalates into a series of thrilling events, including a runaway fire engine and a pro-German protest that the boys set out to disrupt. At the start of the story, the trio attends a patriotic meeting in their hometown of Cresville, where they are excited about the recent declaration of war. As they leave to investigate a fire alarm, they inadvertently become heroes by helping to stop a runaway fire engine. This incident showcases their adventurous spirit and foreshadows their eventual decision to enlist as volunteers. The boys' camaraderie and commitment to their country are tested as they navigate their feelings about war, loyalty, and the challenges that come with growing up in a tumultuous time.
