RE: Any recommendations on a book about William O. Stoddard?
Bill,

Don Fehrenbacher gives that quotation a "D" in The Recollected Words of Abraham Lincoln, meaning that more than likely it's dubious. You also might try to find a copy of George Rable's Fredericksburg Fredericksburg, which I happen to have, but my office is serving as a warehouse for stuff going into our master bathroom and I can't get to it. Rable wrote of the battle not only from the military perspective from also from the political, so he may have something.

Best
Rob
