His autobiography delves a little further into his personal life, but remains for the most part a sermon on life. I believe he had a few lessons he wanted to leave behind and now in his late 70's , the biography was his way to relate them. There is one though that you should keep your eyes open for. His first real venture was an impressive project, a book he titled Old New England Pictures. It was to be a limited edition of 200 copies, but after about a dozen copies it became apparent to him that it was not cost productive.
Today there are several copies known to exist.
The Library of Congress has two complete books, there are about five complete books in private ownership and about four incomplete books missing some or all of the pictures. About two years ago at the greatest antique show on earth, Brimfield, in Massachusetts, I stumbled upon two beautiful, framed pictures that I confirmed came out of an Old New England Pictures book. I bought them without hesitation and quizzed the proprietor of the booth where she came by them. The trail stopped at the auction she purchased them from. This book is considered the rarest Nutting item to find.
