Colonel William H. Crook spent fifty years at the White House in varying roles, including, as the title says, Abraham Lincoln's bodyguard. Beyond his touching personal observations about president Lincoln (they were clearly friends, and Crook felt extremely affectionately about him), he also gives us a glimpse into life in the white house and those most influential of figures surrounding it. His stories of presidents Garfield, Johnson, and Hayes are fascinating. His many accounts of his friendship with Ulysses S. Grant, including buggy racing with the general, and his presence as a guest at Grant's daughter's white house wedding are as humorous as they are interesting.

This is a memoir written by a White House bodyguard who took the job beginning during Lincoln's presidency and lasted for decades. From the intro: "It was in November, 1864, that four police officers were detailed by Mr. William B. Webb, who was then chief of police in the District of Columbia, to be a special guard for President Lincoln. They were to act on instructions from headquarters, and were also to be subject to any orders the President might give. The men were Elphonso Dunn, John Parker, Alexander Smith, and Thomas Pendel. All have since died. They reported immediately to the White House. Not long after the appointment a vacancy in the position of doorkeeper occurred, and the place was given to Pendel. On the 4th of January I was sent to the White House to act as the fourth guard. There was rotation in the service, although the hours were not invariable. The general plan was this: Two men were on duty from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon. These officers guarded the approach to the President in his office or elsewhere in the building, accompanied him on any walks he might take-in general, stood between him and possible danger. At four another man went on duty and remained until midnight, or later if Mr. Lincoln had gone outside the White House and had not returned by that time. At twelve the second night-guard went on duty, and remained until he was relieved, at eight in the morning. The night-guards were expected to protect the President on his expeditions to and from the War Department, or while he was at any place of amusement, and to patrol the corridor outside his room while he slept. We were all armed with revolvers. The reasons why the friends of Mr. Lincoln insisted on this precaution were almost as evident then as they became later."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
