description: Every age has its heroes: men and women who lead by example and uplift us all in the process. Often their stories become deeply embedded in national mythology, but sometimes they are overlooked, and it takes the observant eye of the attentive historian to rescue their legacy from obscurity.In Forgotten Heroes, preeminent members of the Society of American Historians resurrect some unknown heroes from the American past and provide a unique perspective on the way individuals have shaped our history. Forgotten Heroes is particularly welcome today, when the trend is to look for flaws in our revered figures rather than to sing their praises.
