Boynton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides a comprehensive overview of West Point’s military significance during the American Revolution, the establishment of the U.S. Military Academy, and details about its operations and facilities. It captures the site's scenic beauty, its historical importance, and engages readers with a blend of military history and educational overview. At the start of the book, the author describes the picturesque location of West Point, highlighting its strategic and historical significance during the Revolutionary War. Boynton discusses early military fortifications established to control the passage of the Hudson River, recounting the ambitious yet ultimately flawed attempts at defense, including the early fortifications constructed under the direction of Washington. The narrative delves into the treachery of Benedict Arnold, his collaboration with the British, and the eventual capture of Major John André, detailing consequential events that shaped military strategy and education in the United States. The opening effectively sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the Academy's evolution and its lasting legacy on military training in America.
