The Norton Book of American Autobiography

Great collection of autobiographies serves as an introduction to the genre, as well as a glimpse into lower-middle class American life spanning the massive girth of time from the 15th century to the 21st. I still periodically re-visit certain pieces, such as Wright's masterpiece "Black Boy" and Thoreau's "Walden." This anthology again iterates that a nation's history can be taught and learned through a common man's anecdotes.
