"Recollections of a Long Life: An Autobiography" by Theodore L. Cuyler is an autobiography written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Cuyler, a prominent Presbyterian minister, as he reflects on his upbringing in Western New York, his formative years, and the influential figures and events that shaped his life and ministry, including his experiences in Europe and his dedication to temperance reform. The opening of the autobiography introduces readers to Cuyler’s early life in Aurora, New York, detailing his familial lineage and the strong influence of his mother on his spiritual development. Cuyler reminisces about his childhood in a rural setting devoid of modern conveniences, punctuated by heartfelt lessons from his mother that instilled in him a deep moral foundation and a sense of duty toward his faith. He narrates the influence of his father’s early death and the nurturing of his character on his grandfather's farm. As he transitions to his college years, he reflects on the education and mentors that guided him, ultimately addressing his decision to pursue the ministry, which he attributes significantly to his mother’s early dedication and his own spiritual awakening prompted by her teachings.
