Inside The White House In War Times, William O. Stoddard

University of Nebraska Press: Sample Books and Chapters

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, …

This State Has "Boundries" (Sic), But No Focus: A Review, Richard Defoe

E-JASL: Electronic Journal of Academic and Special Librarianship (1999-2009, Volumes 1-10)

Review of Louisiana Biographical Dictionary: People of all Times and Places Who Have Been Important to the History and Life of the State. Somerset Publishers, St. Clair Shores, MI, 1999. $87.50.

Review:

Somerset Publishers produce biographical dictionaries of some of these United States. The Louisiana volume does not instill confidence in their efforts. Sloppy printing, sloppy proof-reading and sloppy and turgid writing are just the beginning of the problems with this book – the title of this review features one of their glaring spelling errors from the foreword.

But the major problem with this book seems to be focus, …

Prefatory Note And Chronology, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Throughout 1999 the SAHS was involved in pursuing plans to establish a Swiss American Center in New Glarus, Wisconsin. Although the SAHS' involvement in the project has been terminated by the membership at the Annual Meeting of October 9, 1999 in Philadelphia, and although over eighty percent of the SAHS members polled agreed with that decision, it seems proper to present to the SAHS members a documentation of the events in the first issue of the SAHS Review of the year 2000, especially also of the steps taken by the SAHS representatives at the New Glarus meetings, E. Schmocker, the …

Initiation of a Potential SAHS Swiss American Center (SAC) Project: From the Minutes of the SAHS Annual Meeting, held on October 10, 1998 at the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D. C., Dr. Sabine. Jessner, Secretary: "Donald Tritt asked the members to consider the creation of a Swiss American Center to preserve and foster Swiss-American culture. He had literature on ethnic centers created by Americans of Danish, Norwegian, Irish, and other ethnic backgrounds. A Swiss Center might include museum exhibition space, meeting facilities, a library, and an archive. Discussion followed. This possibility met with enthusiastic response. Among those speaking in …

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This is in response to your message dated 8-20-99 and faxed 8-26-99. After much thought and discussion we have come to the conclusion that a further involvement of the SAHS in the planning of a Swiss American Center to be located in New Glarus has to be suspended to enable the SAHS President to consult by mail the members of the SAHS Board of Advisors as well as the SAHS membership in order to reach a decision whether the SAHS can be a partner in that project as now pursued. The extensive discussions of the past months and especially also …

Super Bowl Vs. Virtual Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is time for the mid-winter festival of commercial excess. It is time for the holiday commemorating Thorstein Veblen. It is the time of conspicuous consumption, conspicuous leisure, and conspicuous waste. It is a time without restraints and without limits. It is Super Bowl Weekend in America.
