New England Boyhood (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)
Published in 1899, this charming autobiography takes readers back to a time when Boston, the largest city in New England, was still just a typical town of the region. While Hale claims here, “I am certainly not writing my autobiography,” he does give a detailed account of being a boy during “the simplicity and ease of a phase of New England life, which has now wholly passed away.”
