The Life of a Citizen: At Home and in Foreign Service is a memoir written by Jeremiah Augustus Johnson in 1915. The book describes Johnson's experiences as a citizen of the United States, both in his home country and as a diplomat serving abroad. Johnson was born in 1854 in Maine and grew up in a family of modest means. Despite limited resources, he was able to attend Bowdoin College and eventually became a lawyer. He went on to serve in various government positions, including as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and as a consul in several foreign countries. In the book, Johnson recounts his experiences in these roles, offering insights into the workings of government and diplomacy. He also reflects on his personal life, discussing his family, friendships, and hobbies. Throughout the book, Johnson emphasizes the importance of civic duty and service to one's country. He argues that citizens have a responsibility to be engaged in their communities and to work towards the betterment of society. Overall, The Life of a Citizen provides a unique perspective on American life and politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It offers a glimpse into the experiences of a dedicated public servant and provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of citizenship.With An Introductory Note.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
