Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"West Point Colors" by Anna Bartlett Warner is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Charlemagne "Magnus" Kindred, who aspires to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. The narrative explores themes of duty, family, and the transition from boyhood to a more disciplined life as a cadet. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Magnus and his close-knit family, particularly his loving mother and two sisters. As Magnus prepares to leave home for West Point, he grapples with feelings of homesickness and the challenges that await him at the academy. Despite the excitement of embarking on a new adventure, Magnus’s thoughts often return to his family, highlighting the emotional struggles he faces as he leaves his childhood behind. The opening chapters set the stage for his journey, touching on his initial experiences as a candidate, and establishing the contrast between the warmth of his home life and the rigid expectations of military training.
