Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This 19th century autobiography tells the fascinating tale of the author's youth as a wealthy orphan living with his uncle in an American frontier town in the 1790s. Encouraged by his uncle to be reckless and self-indulgent, the author, as a headstrong and ill-behaved adolescent, gets into mischievous scrapes that bring trouble and injury both to himself and others. After a quite serious accident, the author's invalidity brings a profound change of heart as he is taught the virtues of humility, compassion, and responsibility by a local man whose wisdom and kindness bring a new perspective on life. This book offers a classic insight into the experience of growing up in a time and place where the values of self-reliance and community were in tension, and where the consequences of bad behavior could be severe but also transformative.
