History of my own times or, the life and adventures of William Otto, Sen

https://collections.lancasterhistory.org/en/permalink/lhdo1258

Author: Otter, William,

Date of Publication: 1995.

Call Number: 927 O89; 929 O89

Responsibility: edited by Richard B. Stott

ISBN: 0801426677

Author: Otter, William,

Place of Publication: Ithaca, NY

Publisher: Cornell University Press

Date of Publication: 1995.

Physical Description: xiv, 230 p. ill. 23 cm.

Summary: "This edition of Otter's autobiography is a welcome addition to the scant volume of literature dealing with the rural laboring men of the early national period. Otter's autobiography also offers an interesting commentary on the nature of nineteenth century American character, highlighting its admirable as well as its contemptible qualities. For these reasons, and many others, this work deserves recognition and further discussion by scholars and students of American history alike." [from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biographies] "William Otter's History of My Own Time is a riveting, disturbing window into the world of rural artisans in the early republic. Paul Stott's thorough, thoughtful, and sometimes brilliant editing and commentary greatly enhance the text. Local historians, students, and academics will love it and hate it all at once, while the old families of Frederick County will either cringe to find their ancestors in league with Otter or sigh with relief at their absence from the History." [from the Maryland Historical Magazine] "Otter's life story opens doors into our understanding of northern Jacksonian, including their acceptance of Indian removal, and their lack of concern over slavery. This is a disturbing but significant publication." [from the Journal of the Early Republic]

Subjects: Otter, William, - 1787-1856.; Artisans - United States; United States - Social life and customs - 1783-1865.
