Book Description
Excerpt from Hail the Conquering Hero: A Comedy in Three Acts Scene - The setting for all three acts is a stone terrace adjoining the side entrance of a comfortable brick and timber house in the late summer of the year 1919. The low gables, the quaint doorway with an old-fashioned lantern hung on either door post, the charmingly draped windows as seen from the outside, the walls which the vines have striven to cover, the variety of potted plants and growing things seen everywhere bespeak the artistic instinct of the presiding genius of the place. A large green rug partly covers the stone floor. To R. Stands a broad swing banked with cushions, and about the terrace are scattered comfortable wicker chairs and seats. One feels at first glance the air of comfort and artistic fitness of things that gives to the scene 0 homelike and much-lived - in appearance.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hero Tales: From American Life To sit at your fireside with such a goodly company of brave hearts is a privilege that probably never be fore has come to you. Directly before you, are men who imperiled their lives for their country. Here are women who withstood the bitterest agonies for the sake of their beloved ones. Here is a child who fled into the arms of death to save those who were in danger. There is the soldier who led an army to victory. Here is a captain who brought a thousand lives safely to port. You have, undoubtedly, often wished that you might see the conquering hero return from war, or clasp the hands of the world's bravest men. Here they are with you: Dewey, the hero of Manila; Custer, the hero of the Indian massacres; Houston, the frontiersman; Nathan Hale, the patriot. Some of them have been very near to you: Binns, the hero of the Republic dis aster, the first man to save his ship through the modern science of wireless telegraphy; Lieutenant Selfridge, who gave his life to the solution of aerial navigation while in the service of his country; heroes of the long ago; heroes of yesterday; heroes of to-day - in the company of the heroes of to-morrow.
