 In the wake of the Civil War, William Dean Howells dedicated 15 years to shaping the literary landscape as Assistant Editor and then Editor of the esteemed Atlantic Magazine. Renowned as a prolific novelist, he published Years of My Youth in 1916, offering a poignant reflection on his early years in Ohio. This evocative memoir spans his earliest memories through his twenties, right at the onset of the Civil War. With rich detail, Howells paints a vivid picture of the culture and pressing issues of the 1840s and 1850s in the American Midwest, inviting readers to journey through his formative years. - Summary by Ted Lienhart
