Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the Storm Many friends of W. D. O'Connor have manifested their interest in bringing to the attention of the general public the graphic stories of American heroism which are contained in this volume. Among these friends was Charles W. Eldridge, formerly of the publishing house of Thayer and Eldridge, Boston, and afterward connected with the Treasury Department at Washington. Out of loyalty to O'Connors memory, Mr. Eldridge undertook the considerable task of examining all of O'Connors contributions to the Annual Reports of the Life-Saving Service, and of selecting those best adapted for republication. The preparation of the volume for the press was nearly completed at the time of Mr. Eldridge's death in 1903, and the publishers of "Heroes of the Storm" desire to express their obligation to the service which Mr. Eldridge's affectionate admiration for his friend led him to perform.
