HISTORYS STRANGEST STORIES - GEORGE C EGGLESTON...

In calling the tales in this volume Strange Stories I have sought simply to indicate that  in
the main  they are unfamiliar to youthful readers  and that most of them relate deeds and
occurrences some what out of the common. In choosing the themes I have tried to avoid the tales
that have been often used  and to tell only those of which young readers generally have not
before heard. Of course  a book of this kind can make no pretension to originality of matter 
as the facts used in it are to be found in historical works of recognized authority  though
many of them have been drawn from books that are not easily accessible to the majority of
readers. If there is any originality in my little volume it is in the manner in which the tales
are told. I have endeavored to tell them as simply as possible  and at the same time with as
much dramatic force and fervor as I could command  while adhering rigidly to the facts of
history. [...] Collection of history's most remarkable incidents and occurences. Originally
released in 1885.
