The purpose of this book "is to tell in simple fashion the story of some Americans who showed that they knew how to live and how to die; who proved their truth by their endeavor; and who joined to the stern and manly qualities which are essential to the well-being of a masterful race the virtues of gentleness, of patriotism, and of lofty adherence to an ideal."

This book doesn't seem to provide reliable information and contains a lot of racist interpretations of history. It's not suitable for children and not written at an adult level.
