| Summary | "My Story" by Anson Mills is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Brigadier General Anson Mills, detailing his experiences from childhood through his military career, including significant events such as the Civil War and his time serving on the frontier. The narrative offers insights into the challenges faced by early American pioneers and the complexities of military life during tumultuous periods in U.S. history. The opening of the memoir begins with Anson Mills reflecting on his ancestry and the hardships encountered by his family as early settlers in Indiana. He recounts his father's journey to the West, his upbringing in a pioneer household, and the privations of early life, including the lack of modern conveniences. Mills shares anecdotes about his childhood, education, and the development of his character through various experiences, setting the stage for a life dedicated to service and leadership. As he transitions to his formative years at West Point and into his military career, the groundwork is laid for the trials and tribulations that will characterize his later life.
