Plowing My Own Furrow

Howard Moore was born in 1889 in Sing Sing (later Ossining), New York. He only finished the eighth grade, then went to Manhattan to work for the telephone company at the age of fourteen. Moore was self-educated, an agnostic, and had never been a member of any political party. He had been America's oldest living conscientious objector to World War I and wrote this book at the age of ninety-five.
