My Drunken Life, In Fifteen Chapters: From 1825 To 1847 is a memoir written by Jacob Carter and published in 1848. The book chronicles Carter’s life from his early years in 1825 to 1847, during which he struggled with alcoholism. The memoir is divided into fifteen chapters, each detailing a different period of Carter’s life and the events that led to his addiction. Throughout the book, Carter provides a candid and unflinching account of his experiences, including his struggles with poverty, his failed attempts at sobriety, and the impact of his addiction on his relationships and career. He also explores the broader social and cultural context of alcoholism during the mid-19th century, shedding light on the ways in which it was viewed and treated by society.Despite the heavy subject matter, My Drunken Life is not without moments of humor and levity. Carter’s writing style is engaging and lively, and he infuses his memoir with colorful anecdotes and memorable characters. Overall, My Drunken Life, In Fifteen Chapters: From 1825 To 1847 is a powerful and insightful memoir that offers a unique perspective on the history of alcoholism and addiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
