Extensive genealogical notes are given for the Brooke, Selden, and Tucker families.
Topics include transportation, lifestyles, personal experiences, schooling in Richmond and Stafford County, description of slaves his family owned, national events such as John Brown's Raid, the Secession Convention in Richmond in 1861 and the Civil War.
About two-thirds of the narrative concerns Brooke's Confederate, naval and military service.

A bad leg wound received on 28 May 1864 ended Brooke's military career and virtually ends the autobiography.
An appendix at the end of the narrative contains transcripts of letters of commendation for military service and a letter from the Haw family who cared for Brooke when he was wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness.
