RE: Any recommendations on a book about William O. Stoddard?
Stoddard has another connection of interest to us-he was born in Homer, New York-at about the same time of Francis B. Carpenter. Carpenter made the famous painting of Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation with his Cabinet surrounding him. While Stoddard wrote out the first copy of the document. Apparently, Stoddard had a son, by the way, who lived in Detroit on Webb Street. Back then Webb Street occupants were "well off." i imagine the any papers pertaining to Stoddard in the Burton Library are the result of his son being in Detroit.
