Cappy Ricks is a fun and quick book to read. Peter Kyne (1880-1957) was an American novelist. Several of his works were produced as screen plays during the silent screen era. He lied about his age and enlisted in Company L, 14th U.S. Infantry, and served in the Philippines. The Spanish-American War and the following insurrection of General Emilio Aguinaldo gave settings for many of Kyne's stories. During World War I, he served as a captain in the144th field Artillery, who were known as the California Grizzlies. Cappy Ricks or The Subjugation of Matt Peasley was first published in 1916. Cappy Ricks is the story of old Cappy Ricks and of Matt Peasley, the boy he tried to break because he knew the acid test was good for his soul. Matt Preasley meets a millionaire named Cappy Ricks. Matt becomes captain of one of Cappy;s ships before Cappy meets him and realizes he is just 23 years old. Cappy mentors Matt and in the process teaches him some valuable lessons. These lessons put Matt into some hilarious situations.
