It includes stories about great women and men throughout American history, including Stephen Jay Gould on deaf baseball player Dummy Hoy, Alfred Kazin on "the failed president" John Quincy Adams, and Christine Stansell on Margaret Anderson, the publisher of James Joyce's Ulysses. The collection demonstrates that heroes come in many shapes and sizes, and that we all gain when we remember and celebrate them.
