The book chronicles the extraordinary life of Train, a prominent businessman and adventurer known for his eccentric personality and notable contributions to transportation and commerce during the 19th century. Train's narrative offers insight into his significant achievements, personal experiences, and reflections on society, encapsulating a fascinating journey through various states and countries. At the start of the autobiography, Train reflects on his childhood memories, detailing the traumatic experience of losing his entire family to a yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans when he was just four years old. Orphaned and sent to live with his grandmother in Massachusetts, he recounts vivid memories of his early life, including his travels, labor on a farm, and determination to forge a successful path for himself. The opening sets the tone for Train's rambling yet compelling storytelling style, as he prepares to share the unfolding events of a life steeped in both triumph and struggle, including significant historical contexts and personal anecdotes.
