Excerpt from True Stories of Great American Men: For Young Americans There is nothing which our boys and girls so much love to read, or have told to them, as true stories of the lives of great and noble people. This book gives such true stories. It deals especially with the early life of America's great men. It shows what were their natures and their habits when they were boys. It tells about their mothers and fathers and their homes; it tells of the circumstances which surrounded them and relates scores of incidents of their childhood days, and their daily doings, their jolly sports, their trials and difficulties and how they met and overcame them. It shows us what books they read, what schooling they had, how they came to be great and famous, and the wonderful things they did in the world. Every boy and girl who reads this inspiring volume will want to get out and do something in the world. It is as charming and entertaining as a fairy tale, but every word of it is True.
