The Book of Heroes should never be separated from the Book of
Heroines; they are the two parts of that story of courage, service
and achievement which is the most interesting and inspiring chapter
in the history of human kind in this wonderful world of ours.
Whenever and wherever there has appeared a hero, a heroine has
almost always worked with or for him; for heroic and noble deeds
are rarely done without some kind of cooperation. Now and then, it
is true, single acts of daring stand out alone; but, as a rule, the
hero gains his end because other men or women stand beside him in
times of great peril. William the Silent could not have made his
heroic defence of the Low Countries against the armies of Spain if
men of heroic temper and women of indomitable courage had not been
about him in those terrible years; Washington could not have
converted a body of farmers into an organized and disciplined army
if he had not been aided by the skill of drill masters like
Steuben; nor could Lieutenant Peary make brilliant dashes for the
North Pole if other men did not join him in his perilous
expeditions. The hero is generally a leader of heroes, as a great
general is a leader of soldiers who carry out his plans in hourly
jeopardy of limb and life."
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
