Originally published in 2003, Charles Edward Horn’s Memoirs of His Father and Himself is an annotated collection of the memoirs of Charles Edward Horn.

They are supplemented in this book by transcripts of four other autobiographical accounts of the Horns, a summary of their extant correspondence and a chronology of their activities.
