Excerpt from The Young Scout: The Story of a West Point Lieutenant The largest boy of the group was Buck Kennon, a new pupil, whose folks had lately removed to the neighborhood. He was two years older than the eldest of the party, and in growth and appearance seemed to be fully sixteen years of age. He was a rough, coarse, overbearing lad, who was feared and disliked by the rest. Three of the boys, who resisted his tyrannous conduct, had been beaten into submission, and every one felt that a most disagree able and unwelcome member had joined the school. They would have been glad to be rid of him, but there he was and likely to stay with all his detested qualities. The party had been lolling on the grass in the shade for some minutes, when Buck snatched 03 the hat of the crippled boy and dashed 03 with it. Almon hobbled after him, but of course could not overtake his persecutor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
