These "Hero Tales from History" have been written in the faith set forth in this paragraph.  It is the aim through these stories to inculcate the fundamental virtues just named and at the same time to acquaint children with the names and achievements of some of those great men whose lives and characters are a part of our racial and national inheritance.

In the selection of the tales in this book represent all ages.  Here are mighty men of the ancient world and makers of modern America.  Some of the men chosen as the heroes of these stories are great figures in world history, but the greater part of them were selected because they are among the foremost heroes of our own country and our own culture.  Of course in a book of this size many valuable stories had to be omitted.  In selecting the ones to be included, the author was not forgetful of the best modern courses of study.  It is believed that the material here presented meets the needs of our best schools.

These "Hero Tales" are not biographies of the men about whom they are told, neither is there any effort to join them in a connected historical narrative.  That belongs to a later stage in the school course.  They are just stories from history told with constant thought of the stage of mental development of the children for whom they are intended.  Each story has a hero, each is full of action, and each is told in clear and simple language.
