Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

A Forgotten Hero is a novella by Emily Sarah Holt. Holt was an English novelist known mainly for her historical novels for children. Excerpt: "The preparations for sleep were almost as primitive as those for meals. Exalted persons, such as the Earl and Countess, slept in handsome bedsteads, of the tent form, hung with silk curtains, and spread with coverlets of fur, silk, or tapestry. They washed in silver basins, with ewers of the same costly metal; and they sat, the highest rank in curule chairs, the lower upon velvet-cove red forms or stools. But ordinary people, of whom Clarice was one, were not provided for in this luxurious style. Bower-maidens slept in pallet-beds, which were made extremely low, so as to run easily under one of the larger bedsteads, and thus be put out of the way."

Forgotten Hero details the life of Silver Star recipient Calvin Heath - D Co., 3/187th Infantry, 101st Airborne. Heath was seriously wounded in 1968 during a vicious battle near the jungles of Phuoc Vinh, Vietnam. He returned home to a military system unprepared to care for its wounded warriors and a country with little tolerance for those who fought. It would take Heath more than 30 years to restore his stolen honor and his benefits.
