Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The West Point Rivals: or, Mark Mallory's Stratagem" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the adventures of a group of young cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, particularly centering around characters such as Mark Mallory and his enthusiastic friends known as the Banded Seven. The story delves into themes of camaraderie, rebellion against authority, and the quest for personal honor, all set against the backdrop of military life. The opening of the novel introduces us to a group of plebes eagerly anticipating an exciting outing to a circus in Highland Falls. The protagonist, Mark Mallory, who is recovering from hospital treatment, is quickly drawn back into the lively camaraderie of his friends. Texas, a notable character among them, expresses his determination to ride a bucking bronco named Smasher at the circus, setting the tone for the adventures to come. As the cadets plot their escape for a day of fun, the narrative promises a blend of youthful exuberance and mischief, foreshadowing the escapades that will test their bravery and ingenuity throughout the story.
