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.

"William H. Crook was a common sight in the corridors of the White House in the second half of the nineteenth century. For over fifty years he served a total of twelve presidents in a variety of roles. His book [...] uncovers the first twenty years of his life in the corridors of power. Crook's career began in 1865 when he was assigned as a White House guard in January 1865. Unfortunately, he was not on duty when President Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865, and so could do nothing to prevent this tragic event. Yet, despite this, Crook continued to work as bodyguard for Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson, before being appointed 'Executive Clerk of the President of the United States' by Ulysses S. Grant in 1870 and dispersing agent in 1877, a role that he would hold for the rest of his career. Crook's memoirs provide vivid insight into life in the White House through the administrations of Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur. It provides particularly vivid insight into lives of presidents Lincoln, Johnson and Grant and their families who Crook grew to know well. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in a unique view of some of our most famous presidents and their personal lives behind the closed doors of the White House."--Page [4] of cover.
