William S. White And His Times, 1800-1873: An Autobiography is a book written by William Spottswood White and published in 1891. The book is an account of White's life and experiences during the 19th century, a period of great social, political, and economic change in the United States. White was born in Virginia in 1800 and grew up in a family of wealthy planters. He attended college in Virginia and then moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked as a journalist and became involved in politics. White was a supporter of the Whig Party and was appointed by President John Tyler as the United States consul in Havana, Cuba. He later served as a member of the Virginia state legislature and as a delegate to the 1861 Virginia secession convention. Throughout his life, White was a keen observer of the events and personalities that shaped American history, and his autobiography provides a unique perspective on the era. The book covers a wide range of topics, including slavery, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. It also includes personal anecdotes and reflections on White's own life and career. Overall, William S. White And His Times, 1800-1873: An Autobiography is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the political and social climate of the United States during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
