Excerpt from True Stories of Our Famous Men and Women: Containing the Lives of Almost Fifty of Our Nation´s Heroes and Heroines Men and women who have become famous on account of their noble virtues and achievements are bright examples to the young. The patriotism of Washington, Franklin and other heroes of the Revolution will never cease to inspire Americans. They stand out in history as patterns worthy the imitation of all generations of their countrymen. It is the high aim of this volume to portray the noble traits and the noble deeds of the men and women of our country whose names have become household words. It is not merely a grand work for boys and girls, but for all classes of readers. The great Generals, Orators, Statesmen, Explorers, Inventors and Pioneers of our country are depicted in a masterly manner. The reader is delighted with the glowing tales of patriotism and the superb valor and daring exploits of heroes like Washington, Putnam, Lee, Grant, "Stonewall" Jackson, Dewey, Roosevelt, Lawton and many others. Here, too, are thrilling accounts of Polar Voyages, Explorations beyond the Mississippi; brave deeds of our Army and Navy; brilliant examples of poor boys and girls who have risen to fame, showing how the young, by labor and perseverance, can achieve success. There are examples of men who have amassed fortunes, like Girard by his ships and real estate investments; Elias Howe by his invention of the sewing machine; Edison by his discoveries in electricity; James Gordon Bennett by founding a great newspaper. The men and women who have achieved distinction in all the various walks of life are here made illustrious, their names being written on the immortal scroll of history. Not the least thrilling of the great deeds of Americans are the explorations made in the Polar Region by Dr. kane, Lieuteanant Lockwood, Lieutenaut Peary and others who have braved the snows and frosts of northern winters in a fruitless search for the Pole.
