I Remember

By Opie Percival Read

"I Remember" is the evocative autobiography of Opie Read, a prominent figure in American journalism and literature at the turn of the 20th century. Known for his sharp wit and deep connection to the American South, Read offers readers a firsthand account of his life as an editor, storyteller, and the founder of the legendary "Arkansaw Traveler" magazine.

Throughout this memoir, Read explores the evolving landscape of American letters, detailing his interactions with significant figures of his time and his observations on the changing social fabric of the United States. From his early days in Tennessee and Arkansas to his eventual literary success in Chicago, the narrative captures the essence of a bygone era. His prose is marked by the same humor and human insight that made his novels and sketches popular with a wide audience.

This work serves as more than just a personal history; it is a valuable document of the journalistic profession and the cultural history of the South. "I Remember" provides a unique perspective on the power of storytelling and the enduring spirit of an era defined by rapid transformation and rich local color.
