"My Story" by Anson Mills is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Brigadier General Anson Mills, detailing his experiences from childhood through his military career, including significant events such as the Civil War and his time serving on the frontier. The narrative offers insights into the challenges faced by early American pioneers and the complexities of military life during tumultuous periods in U.S. history.
