Summary:

"Uncle Sam's Boys with Pershing's Troops" by H. Irving Hancock is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century during World War I. The story centers around Captain Dick Prescott, who is part of the Ninety-ninth Infantry regiment as they prepare for battle against German forces. The narrative captures the trials and tribulations faced by these officers as they strive to develop their regiment into a formidable fighting force. The opening of the book introduces Captain Prescott and his fellow officers at training camp, highlighting the rigorous expectations set by their commanding officer, Colonel Cleaves. As the regiment trains, they navigate both camaraderie and conflicts among themselves, particularly with a fellow officer, Captain Cartwright, and a struggling non-commissioned officer, Sergeant Mock. Amid the intense preparations, there are hints of espionage as Prescott encounters suspicious behavior and begins to uncover plots that threaten the integrity of their unit. In this dynamic environment filled with tension and urgency, the officers are committed to overcoming challenges while demonstrating leadership, loyalty, and commitment to their country.
