Description
Excerpt from An Annapolis First Classman
Stonewell and Robert Drake by name never existed, but the same thoughts and ambitions that animate them have animated many hun dreds of midshipmen; and incidents similar to those described have happened countless times. From this point of View these stories are true stories. The names of their chief characters may be found in no navy list, but the truth of the Annapolis books does not de pend upon that. Stonewell and Robert Drake have actually lived many times, and to-day are living at Annapolis.
