I was fortunate to have been sent this book by a professor friend in Maine. Otherwise, I would never have discovered this Gem! We need more folks in the world like Asa Sheldon. Honest, Caring, Respectful, always ready to help a friend or stranger when needed. There are many history lessons contained in his autobiography indeed. Greedy government officials, Privateers and many examples of good honest people like himself.Hyperinflation, and commodity trading happened much like today also. Well, enuf of my rambling. Well worth the short time it takes to read this book! You wont be sorry.

Awesome book that is so well written, the author did an amazing job describing life in early Massachusetts
