Hero Tales from American History is a classic collection of American history stories by Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt and includes the following titles: George Washington -- Daniel Boone and the founding of Kentucky -- George Rogers Clark and the conquest of the Northwest -- The battle of Trenton -- Bennington -- King's Mountain, and many others. It is a good thing for all Americans, and it is an especially good thing for young Americans, to remember the men who have given their lives in war and peace to the service of their fellow-countrymen, and to keep in mind the feats of daring and personal prowess done in time past by some of the many champions of the nation in the various crises of her history.
