Biographical Note
American author and poet Charles Warren Stoddard (1843-1909) was born in Rochester, New York, on August 7, 1843, and moved
with his family to San Francisco, California, in 1855.
Stoddard began writing and traveling at an early age. In 1864, Stoddard made his first trip to Hawaii and Polynesia.
His poetry was first published in
The Golden Era
in 1862 and his first book of poems was published in 1867. In the 1860s and 1870s, Stoddard traveled widely, participated
in Bohemian literary circles in San Francisco,
and worked as a correspondent and journalist. In the early 1880s, Stoddard was a co-editor of the
Overland Monthly
magazine with Ina D. Coolbrith and Bret Harte. From 1885 to 1886, he served as chair of the English department at the University
of Notre Dame, and
was department chair at Catholic University from 1889 to 1902 before moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts. He returned to San
Francisco in April 1903,
and then later lived in Monterey,
California, until his death on April 23, 1909.
Scope and Content
This collection consists of an autograph album containing handwritten notes, letters, poems, and drawings by approximately
200 friends and acquaintances of
American author Charles Warren Stoddard, including leading American literary figures, journalists, poets, critics, politicians,
and actors of the late 19th century. Among
the many notable contributors are Samuel Clemens, Bret Harte, and Joaquin Miller.
The earliest item in the book is an 1863 dedication by Thomas Starr King, and continues with contributions primarily from
members of San Francisco literary society beginning
in the mid-to-late 1860s through the late 1890s, as well as from friends in other locales where Stoddard lived or traveled
including Louisville, Kentucky; Washington, D.C.;
Massachusetts; New York;
and Hawaii. A letter from L.C. Bayles (page 23) introduces lines of verse with the note "in accordance with your request,"
reflecting Stoddard's curation of the album as a
compendium of verse and personal sentiments tailored towards friendships and literary musings. The volume includes two photographs
of groups of men and women,
captioned, "Riverdale, N.Y., July 4th 1890" (page 116).
