520 _a"A Backward Glance at Eighty: Recollections & Comment" by Charles A. Murdock is a memoir written during the early 20th century. The book offers a reflective account of the author's life and experiences, particularly focusing on his early years in New England and subsequent life in California, providing insights into historical and social contexts of that time. The opening of the memoir begins with a dedication to Murdock's friends and is framed as a tribute to his contributions to liberal religion. It introduces his childhood memories, alternating between life on his grandfather’s farm in Massachusetts and the bustling environment of the Pemberton House in Boston, where his father worked as a tavern keeper. Murdock shares vivid anecdotes about family life, the local economy based on industries like comb-making, and his early education. His reflections also touch upon significant events and characters in his youth, showcasing the simplicity and happiness of rural life while foreshadowing his later journey to California, thus setting the stage for a broader exploration of his life's narrative.
