| Summary | "Autobiography of Andrew Dickson White — Volume 1" by Andrew Dickson White is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume chronicles White's formative years, detailing his early life in Central New York and his educational journey that led him to Yale and subsequently Europe. It highlights key influences in his upbringing and education, as well as the sociopolitical context of his youth. The opening of the autobiography begins with nostalgic reflections on White's boyhood in Homer, New York, nestled in a region rich with historical significance. He recounts the strong moral and educational foundations laid by his family and local institutions, particularly emphasizing the role of Cortland Academy. White shares vivid memories of his life in a close-knit community, touching upon his early education, personal interests, and formative encounters with literature and political ideas.
