Heroes is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in our American heritage. In a winning mixture of dramatized narrative and historical biography, it profiles George Washington, Daniel Boone, Louisa May Alcott, Robert E. Lee, George Washington Carver, and Andrew Carnegie. As Dr. Roche and his co-author, Lissa Roche, point out, these individuals represent different backgrounds, different races and religions, different paths in life. But they are united in their courage, their devotion to duty, and their triumph over adversity. They are inspiring examples for every American.
