The book covers James' early manhood and tells of \"the obscure hurt\" that kept him out of the Civil War, his first efforts at writing fiction, and the early death of his beloved cousin, Minny Temple, from tuberculosis In this second installment of his autobiography James begins to use family letters, especially those of his brother William and his father Henry James, Sr. James didn't scruple to \"improve\" the letters with revisions of his own, which has given Jamesian scholars something more to comment on. The book covers the Civil War years, which saw James' younger brother Wilky seriously injured and brought back to the family home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. James himself was exempted from service due to a back injury, the \"obscure hurt\" he suffered while putting out a fire with the local volunteer fire department. Meanwhile, James pursued his writing and earned his first fourteen dollars, which he looked at long and proudly. He began to place critical pieces and short stories in magazines like the North American Review, The Nation and The Atlantic Monthly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1523823062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781523823062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Henry James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685676437759,"sku":"9781523823062","price":11.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc78be3a-290d-4526-8aed-9d7bd3f8e6e8.jpg?v=1741726428","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/notes-of-a-son-and-henry-james-9781523823062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
