E-text prepared by Mark C. Orton and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "A Treasury of Heroes and Heroines" by Clayton Edwards is a collection of historical and semi-historical biographies written in the early 20th century. The text compiles accounts of notable figures from various epochs, spanning from 500 B.C. to 1920 A.D., emphasizing their acts of bravery, moral character, and significant contributions to society. The book also intersperses the lives of fictional characters that embody heroic traits, creating a diverse tapestry of human experience. At the start of the work, the author introduces the history of the ancient Indian prince Siddartha, who would later become known as Buddha. The narrative explores Siddartha's sheltered upbringing, his father's efforts to prevent him from encountering suffering, and the profound transformation that occurs when Siddartha is finally exposed to the harsh realities of life—aging, sickness, and death. His eventual decision to pursue enlightenment leads him to renounce his privileged life in search of deeper truths, a story that resonates with universal themes of personal sacrifice, spiritual awakening, and the quest for knowledge that defines the human condition.
