The true diversity of the American experience comes to life in this superlative collection of autobiographies—including those of Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglas, Mark Twain, and more...
Edited and with an Introduction by William L. Andrews
and an Afterword by Paul John Eakin

A True History of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson(1682), perhaps the first American bestseller, recounts this thirty-nine-year-old woman’s harrowing months as the captive of Narragansett Indians.

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin (1771–1789), the most famous of all American autobiographies, gives a lively portrait of a chandler’s son who became a scientist, inventor, educator, diplomat, humorist—and a Founding Father of this land.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass(1845), the gripping slave narrative that helped change the course of American history, reveals the true nature of the black experience in slavery.

Old Times on the Mississippi (1875), Mark Twain’s unforgettable account of a riverboat pilot’s life, established his signature style and shows us the metamorphosis of a man into a writer.

Four Autobiographical Narratives(1900–1902), published in the Atlantic Monthly by Zitkala-Sa (Red Bird), also known as Gertrude Bonnin, provide us with a voice too seldom heard: a Native American woman fighting for her culture in the white man’s world.

William L. Andrews is the Joyce and Elizabeth Hall Professor of American Literature at the University of Kansas. A prizewinning scholar of African-American literature, Andrews is the author of To Tell a Free Story: The First Century of Afro-American Autobiography, 1760–1865. He is the editor of Collected Stories of Charles W. Chesnutt, Three Classic Stories of Charles W. Chesnutt, Three Classic African-American Novels, and The African-American Novel in the Age of Reflection: Three Classics.

Paul John Eakin, Ruth N. Halls Professor Emeritus of English at Indiana University, is the author of several books on autobiography, including Fictions in Autobiography: Studies in the Art of Self-Invention, Touching the World: Reference in Autobiography, How Our Lives Become Stories: Making Selves, and Living Autobiographically: How We Create Identity in Narrative. He is also the editor of American Autobiography: Retrospect and Prospect.

Selected Bibliography

On the tenth of February. 1675, came the J,idia,zs with great number upon Lancaster.Their first coming was about Sun- rising. Hearing the noise of some guns. we looked out; several Houses were burning, and the smoke ascending to Heaven. There were five persons taken in one House. the Father and the Mother, and a sucking Child, they knock’d on the head: the other two they took, and carried away alive. There were two others, who, being out of their Garrison upon some occasion, were set upon: one was knock’d on the head, the other escaped. Another there was. who, running along, was shot and wounded, and fell down: he begged of them his Life, promising them Money, (as they told me:) hut they would not hearken to him, but knock’d him on the head, stripped him naked, and split open his Bowels. Another, seeing many of the Indians about his Barn, ventured and went out, but was quickly shot down.There were three others belonging to the same Garrison who were killed.The 1ndiwzs getting up upon the Roof of the Barn, had advantage to shoot down upon them over their Fortiflcation.Thus these murtherous Wretches went on. burning and destroying before them.

At length they came and beset our own House. and quickly it was the dolefullest day that ever mine eyes saw. The House stood upon the edge of a Hill: some of the mdiails got behind the Hill. others into the Barn, and others behind anything that would shelter them: from all which Places they shot against the House. so that the Bullets seemed to fly like Hail: and quickly they wounded one Man among us. then another, and then a third. About two Hours (according to my observalion in that amazing time) they had been about the House before they could prevail to fire it. (which they did with flax and Hemp. which they brought out of the Barn, and there being no Defence about the House. only two Flankers, at two opposite Corners. and one of them not finished).
