| Summary | "From Seven to Seventy: Memories of a Painter and a Yankee" by Edward Simmons is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This reflective work provides an autobiographical account of Simmons's life, intertwining his experiences as a painter and a New Englander. The narrative delves into his early years in Concord, Massachusetts, exploring his family heritage and the significant figures in his life, while also touching on broader themes of art, culture, and society during that period. At the start of the memoir, Simmons reflects fondly on his childhood in Concord, a town rich with historical literary figures like Hawthorne and Emerson. He describes his upbringing in the Old Manse, noting its significance and the influences of his grandmother and parents, revealing his deep connection to the town. The narrative sets a tone of nostalgia as he shares memories of family dynamics, local events, and interactions with prominent personalities, vividly painting a picture of his formative years leading up to his education at Harvard College and beyond.
