Summary: "The Story of My Life" by the late Rev. Egerton Ryerson, D.D., LL.D., is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This memoir serves as a reflection of sixty years of public service in Canada, detailing the life and contributions of Egerton Ryerson as a preacher, educator, and advocate for civil liberties. The text explores his early life, struggles, and the significant impact he made on the Canadian education system, as well as the religious and societal issues he faced. At the start of the memoir, Ryerson provides a glimpse into his formative years, describing his childhood in Canada and the strong influence of his family, especially his mother. He recounts his early education, his literary ambitions, and the religious convictions that drove him to pursue a career in ministry. As he navigates familial opposition and societal challenges, he reflects on the transformative power of faith and the importance of education, which became hallmarks of his later work as a prominent figure in establishing public education in Upper Canada. This opening sets the tone for a life dedicated to service, community, and the pursuit of knowledge, promising a rich tapestry of reflections that intertwine personal experience with broader historical themes.
