( Of the three secretaries who assisted President Abraham...)
Of the three secretaries who assisted President Abraham Lincoln—John G. Nicolay, John Hay, and William O. Stoddard—only Stoddard wrote an extended memoir about his time in the Executive Mansion. First published in 1890, the book vividly depicts the president’s agonizing reaction to the defeats at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, the difficulties encountered (and presented) by Mary Lincoln, the president’s relations with George B. McClellan and other generals, and the anxiety preceding the Merrimack’s epic battle with the Monitor. In 1866 Stoddard also penned thirteen “White House Sketches” about his time in Lincoln’s service. Originally published in an obscure New York newspaper, these essays—never previously collected—supplement Stoddard’s memoir. Together the memoir and sketches provide an intimate look at the sixteenth president during a time of crisis.

Excerpt from The Lost Gold of the Montezumas a Story of the Alamo It was a gloomy place. It would have been dark but for a heap of blazing wood upon a rock at one side. That is, it looked like a rock at first sight, but upon a closer inspection it proved to be a cube of well-fitted, although roughly finished, masonry. It was about six feet square, and there were three stone steps leading up in front. Behind this altar-like structure a vast wall of the natural rock, a dark limestone, had been sculptured into the shape of a colossal and exceedingly ugly human face, - as if the head of a stone giant were half sunken in that side of what was evidently an immense cave. There were men in the cave, hut no women were to be seen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXI. WHERE 'S DAN?!HE news flew fast after Jacob set it a-going. Everywhere it found a kind of preparation already made, but it seemed to be none the less a shock. Cherry Valley was so near, and the Plum Hollow settlers knew the people upon whom this blow had fallen. Horses and cattle were hurried away into the woods. Valuables were hidden in wells or buried in the earth. Pigs and poultry were turned loose to shift for themselves. Wagon-loads of women, children, and feeble folks set out quickly for the fort. There was deadly fear and yet there was heroic courage, for this was a thing that all had been trained to think of. "Mother," said Lyra, when she returned from her first work after the tidings came, "I had to tie Nannie to a tree out by the spring, or she 'd have followed me back." 21 313 "we Ve sent Mrs. Bennett to the fort," said her mother hurriedly. "I almost think she is out of her mind." "Squire," exclaimed Jacob, coming in at that moment, "where do you think I faound York when I rid back?" "Do n't know. Where was he?" "Aout at the bridge, lookin' across and waitin' to see who 'd come," laughed Jacob. "Wish he could handle a gun." "Waiting for Dan," said Lyra. "Why does n't he come back?" "Poor Dan!" responded Mrs. Warner. "Old Mrs. Bennett thinks they saw him ride through Cherry Valley the day he left us. He may have ridden right in among the redskins." "Guess not," said Jake, "'t would n't be like him. Dan 'll come back." The fort itself was a sight worth seeing. At first it seemed as if all who came brought their panic with them until there was a great deal of it, but there is always a kind of courage belonging to numbers. Besides, there was really a very good display of guns, and the men who were to use them were...

William Stoddard was one of Abraham Lincoln's three secretaries and he wrote scores of books during his lifetime, several on Lincoln. In this slim volume, Stoddard shares many Lincoln quotes, some familiar, some not found elsewhere. Organized by subject matter instead of chronology, it's a great reference for quoting the great president.

"Look, Rita! look!" "What can it mean, Ni-ha-be?" "See them all get down and walk about." "They have found something in the grass." "And they're hunting for more." Rita leaned forward till her long hair fell upon the neck of the beautiful little horse she was riding, and looked with all her eyes. "Hark! they are shouting." "You could not hear them if they did." "They look as if they were." Ni-ha-be sat perfectly still in her silver-mounted saddle, although her spirited mustang pony pawed the ground and pulled on his bit as if he were in a special hurry to go on down the side of the mountain. The two girls were of about the same size, and could not either of them have been over fifteen years old. They were both very pretty, very well dressed and well mounted, and they could both speak in a strange, rough, and yet musical language; but there was no other resemblance between them. "Father is there, Rita."

Stoddard was born at Homer, Cortland Company, New New York
Stoddard attended the University of Rochester, where he graduated cum laude.
On 25 July 1870 Stoddard married Susan Eagleson Cooper. They had five children. Stoddard died in Madison, New Jersey.

On July 15, 1861, he was appointed "Secretary to the President to sign land patents." After a brief period of service in the Army, Stoddard became Assistant private secretary to Lincoln and "one of three people doing all the White House clerical work during the early Lincoln administration." Preparation of a digest of newspaper articles was one of his original responsibilities.
lieutenant was stopped because, according to Stoddard, "Mr. Lincoln never found time to spend an hour upon laborious condensations." He personally made the first copy of the draft Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862. After two bouts with typhoid, Stoddard left his White House post in July 1864.
On 24 September
1864 he was appointed United States Marshal for Arkansas. However, in 1865 he resigned for health reasons. He moved to New York City and worked on Wall Street.
He entered government service again from 1871-1873, this time for the government of New York City.
He was a clerk for the Department of Docks. Stoddard first published work in 1869.
He wrote both poetry and fiction, ultimately producing over a hundred books, including 76 books for boys. Stoddard also received nine patents for inventions.
