About the author

Lorimer Stoddard (1864–1901) was an American writer and the son of the poet Richard Henry Stoddard. His short life spanned the later nineteenth century, and he tried his hand at both fiction and the essay. One work of his is held in this collection, The Indian's Hand, which, judging by its title, is a narrative centred on Native American themes, continuing the period's American literary interest in the frontier and in indigenous life. Public information about his life and writing is limited; his output was small and his reputation modest, yet as a writer from a literary family his work carries the blended quality of late-nineteenth-century American essay and fiction, offering a concrete sample of the ecology of minor writers of that era.
