True Tales for My Grandsons

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The first question of the young when listening to a tale of adventure, Is it true expresses the natural desire of the sympa thetic mind. Should a story be fiction, at least one-half the interest would disappear, as the characters become unreal but if true, we share the joys and sorrows of the persons whose actions create the tale, and we appreciate the reality of the scene.
