Interesting Incidents Connected With the Life of George Bickers
Originally a Farmer's Parish Apprentice at Laxfield, in Suffolk, but Now Residing in Oulton
Transcribed from the 1882 G. S. Cook edition by David Price
"Interesting Incidents Connected With the Life of George Bickers" by George Bickers is an autobiography written in the late 19th century. The memoir details the life experiences of George Bickers, who began as a farmer's parish apprentice in Laxfield, Suffolk, and covers his journey from 1809 to 1881. The work is likely to appeal to readers interested in personal narratives, rural life, and the socio-economic conditions of 19th-century England, as it captures the challenges and triumphs of a man from humble beginnings. The opening of the autobiography lays the foundation for George Bickers’ life story, beginning with his birth in a modest family and introducing significant early events, including a childhood accident involving a horse that nearly cost him his eyesight. As he reflects on his upbringing and education, he describes the strict yet nurturing environment created by his schoolmaster and highlights his transition from a playful child to a diligent apprentice. He recounts experiences that shaped his character, such as his early schooling and his various jobs in farming, which set the stage for his life’s journey filled with hard work, faith, and perseverance. Throughout this beginning, Bickers emphasizes his gratitude for divine protection and guidance amid adversity, thus establishing a tone of reflection and moral contemplation that runs through the memoir.
