Oldport Days is a collection of essays written by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, an American author, minister, and abolitionist, in 1873. The book is a nostalgic recollection of the author's experiences living in the coastal town of Newport, Rhode Island during the mid-19th century. The essays are a mix of personal anecdotes, historical accounts, and social commentary, all of which provide a vivid picture of life in Newport during a time of great change in America. Higginson writes about the town's architecture, culture, and natural beauty, as well as its wealthy residents and their social customs. He also discusses the impact of the Civil War on the town and its people, and reflects on the changes that were taking place in American society at the time.Throughout the book, Higginson's writing is characterized by a sense of nostalgia and a deep appreciation for the past. He writes with warmth and humor, and his love for Newport and its people shines through in every essay. Oldport Days is a charming and engaging look at a bygone era in American history, and a testament to the enduring power of memory and nostalgia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
