Autobiography has offered a voice to women, African Americans, Native Americans, and others whose writings have often been excluded from the literary canon. The men and women presented here observed, shaped, or participated in many of the most exciting and important events of American history. First Person Past lets them speak for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the hundreds of American autobiographies, the editors have chosen twelve for each of Volumes I and II of \u003ci\u003eFirst Person Past\u003c\/i\u003e because they are interesting history and good literature.
