Excerpt from Dick Prescott's Second Year at West Point: Or Findng the Glory of the Soldier's Life
The column was under arms, as though the cadets had been engaged in target practice or out on a reconnoissance.
The young men wore russet shoes, gray trousers and leggings, gray ¿annel shirts and soft campaign hats.
Their appearance was not that of soldiers on parade, but of the grim toilers and fighters who serve in the field.
Their work that morning had, in fact, been strictly in line with labor, for the young men.
