Hero Tales from American History

Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge published a book of good old American stories to relight the flame of American heroism. They called it Hero Tales from American History. “This book not only provides portraits of a fistful of American heroes, it portrays the way a collaborative friendship can shape the destiny of a nation.” They wanted people to see history as an interwoven collection of true stories—the kind of stories you gather around grandpa’s armchair to hear. The kind of stories that instruct, entertain, and enliven. The kind of formative stories that prepare and inspire people to do great things.
