Publisher's Synopsis

""An Old Boy Remembers"" is a memoir written by John Quincy Adams, an American politician and diplomat who served as the sixth president of the United States from 1825 to 1829. In this book, Adams reflects on his life and career, sharing his memories of growing up as the son of the second president of the United States, John Adams, and his own experiences as a statesman and public servant. Adams offers insights into the political landscape of his time, including his role in negotiating the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. He also discusses his work as a Representative and Senator in the U.S. Congress, as well as his time as Secretary of State under President James Monroe. Throughout the book, Adams provides personal anecdotes and reflections on his family, friends, and colleagues, giving readers a glimpse into the life of one of America's most prominent and influential leaders. ""An Old Boy Remembers"" is a fascinating and engaging account of a remarkable life, written by a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
