Hero Tales from American History by Henry Cabot Lodge & Theodore Roosevelt (PDF ebook) – Today’s resource is this fine collection of essays on heroes from the pages of American history, as collected and told by none other than Teddy Roosevelt & Henry Cabot Lodge!

Includes essays on Daniel Boone, Lincoln, Washington, the Alamo, Revolutionary War battles, Civil War heroes, and many more. Great for students who really enjoy history and adventure!
Excerpt from the introduction:

Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog and THANK YOU for all of your wonderful resources.
We use many of your freebies, radio shows and cd’s, all of it great stuff. Your radio shows have been an extra blessing for teaching my son, he learns best by hearing and loves your programs. They make learning about history so exciting!
Thanks again.
