In a time when military academies shaped the leaders of tomorrow, "Dick Hamilton's Cadet Days; Or, The Handicap of a Millionaire's Son" by Howard R. Garis explores the unique challenges faced by those born into privilege. As Dick Hamilton navigates the rigorous demands of Kentfield Academy, he grapples with the dichotomy of his wealth and the discipline required to succeed in a world that values merit over money. With themes of camaraderie and personal growth, this novel highlights the struggle between social status and individual character. Ideal for students and civic activists interested in the interplay of class and ambition, Garis’s work offers a compelling narrative that resonates with the quest for identity amidst societal expectations.
