| Summary |
"Reminiscences of His Life" by E. P. Roe is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a retrospective look at the life of Edward Payson Roe, an author who was popular in his generation, through the eyes of his sister, Mary A. Roe. The book provides insights into his character, experiences, and significant events in his life, particularly emphasizing his childhood, education, and service as a chaplain during the Civil War. The opening of this memoir presents a nostalgic view of Roe's boyhood, rich with fond memories of his childhood home, family dynamics, and early adventures shared with his sister. It paints a vivid picture of a rural upbringing filled with exploration in nature, imaginative play, and strong familial bonds, highlighted by his mother's influence and the close companionship between Edward and Mary. As their story unfolds, the foundation for Edward's later achievements—including his passion for literature and eventual commitment to the army as a chaplain—begins to take shape through the lens of their shared experiences and cherished moments.
