| Summary | "The Rod and Gun Club" by Harry Castlemon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a group of boys, particularly Lester Brigham, who is sent to a military academy as a consequence of his misbehavior at home, including involvement in trouble with other boys and serious incidents in his community. The novel explores themes of youth, adventure, and the challenges of growing up in a structured environment. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Lester and his father, Mr. Brigham, who is frustrated with Lester's rebellious and irresponsible behavior. Following a heated discussion about Lester's future, Mr. Brigham decides to send him to a military academy, hoping it will instill discipline in him. The early chapters also introduce Don and Bert Gordon, who have their own opinions about Lester, reflecting a mix of disdain and obligation as they prepare to return to the same academy. This opening portion establishes the groundwork for character development and the plot's central conflict, setting up a mix of rivalry, camaraderie, and the transition from boyhood to maturity amidst adventures and disciplinary challenges.
