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.
