Bygones Worth Remembering, Vol. 1 (of 2)

"Bygones Worth Remembering, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by George Jacob Holyoake is an early 20th-century autobiography, where the author contemplates his life and the world around him. Holyoake kicks things off by explaining why it's super important to remember the past, arguing that we can't just forget old mistakes if we want to get better. He shares stories from his own life, starting with when he was born, and talks about the big stuff that shaped his views, like the Chartist movement and influential people such as Robert Owen. The book sets up Holyoake as someone who thinks it's crucial to learn from history, get curious, and have smart conversations about what's happening in society.
