There are so many stories that show heroism. There's both chivalry and heroism in Le Morte D'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table by Sir Thomas Malory and more in Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott.
There's also The Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle.
How about The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer?
As I said, there are so many...The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane; the true life story Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest by Stephen E. Ambrose; The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom and Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.
What type of hero do you want?
Addition: I was going back over some questions and noticed xxmachina's answer. I have to give Kudos to xxmachina!

Emancipation. 1870s. There were a lot of people running the underground railway. That, in my mind, is truly heroic.

could be simple and it could be something big and dramatic. all it has to have is courage intertwined in every fiber of the act. after all Courage is fear that has said its prayers.~Dorothy Bernard
