"The Putnam Hall Rebellion; or, The Rival Runaways" by Edward Stratemeyer is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a military academy, the story revolves around a group of young cadets, particularly focusing on characters like Jack Ruddy and Pepper Ditmore as they navigate challenges and rivalries.
