Summary "Plymouth Memories of an Octogenarian" by William T. Davis is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on the author’s memories, experiences, and observations of the town of Plymouth over a long life, aiming to document the changes in customs, habits, and local history for the benefit of future generations. At the start of the narrative, the author expresses his intent to bridge the gap between the past and the present for both the elderly and younger generations, revealing insights into how the lives of the ancestors shaped current existence. He addresses common questions about the naming of Plymouth, its incorporation, and the epidemic that affected the early settlers. Through anecdotes and historical context, Davis paints a vivid picture of his childhood and the evolution of Plymouth, setting the stage for a rich exploration of both personal and communal history.
