Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historic Deeds of Danger and Daring In these days of dull materialism and prosaic money-making, volume of romantic episodes and hair-breadth escapes should be welcome to the lovers of adventure. The boy who has revelled in the tales of the fairies, and pored over stories of fierce giants, and of gallant knights who battled with dragons and rescued beautiful maidens from enchanted castles, finds the world dolefully impoverished when he quits school and sits at his office desk. It would be beneath the dignity of the budding lawyer or merchant to believe in fairies and goblins, and to enthuse over the deeds of valiant champions, who dared unknown perils in the days of chivalry. But the qualities he admired in the heroes of his childhood days, have their personification in real men, whose daring exploits are the glory of the histories of many lands. To glean from the pages of history the stories of these illustrious men of real life, and to tell the narratives of their glorious achievements, has been the work of the editors of this book. The old saying that "Truth is stranger than fiction" is certainly borne out in these remarkable biographies.
