History of My Own Times; or, the Life and Adventures of William Otter, Sen., Comprising a Series of Events, and Musical Incidents Altogether Original

This is one of the few first-person accounts of a rural artisan in pre-genteel American. The book depicts the ambiguities of race relation in the early nineteenth century, sheds light on its definition of manhood, and conveys a sense of humor very different from today's.

Riassunto

His Life and Adventures offer an inside account of the brawling racism common in the early nineteenth century and sharply detail the rowdy male subculture of the times.... History of My Own Times is one of the few first-person accounts of a rural artisan in pre-genteel America.
