This ex-library copy of “West Point wingback” by Joe Archibald offers a unique glimpse into the life of a cadet at the United States Military Academy in the early 20th century. Archibald, a prolific writer of humorous fiction, drew upon his own experiences as a West Point graduate to craft this autobiographical novel. Originally published in 1933, the book provides a firsthand account of the rigorous training, pranks, and camaraderie that defined the West Point experience during a pivotal era in American history.
While the dust jacket and hardcover show signs of wear befitting its library origins, the clean pages and secure binding suggest this copy has been well-preserved. For collectors of military literature or enthusiasts of the academy’s storied history, this edition represents an opportunity to immerse themselves in a bygone era through the eyes of a witty and insightful author. Archibald’s humorous yet authentic portrayal of cadet life offers a rare and entertaining perspective on the traditions that have shaped generations of Army officers.
