John Lawson Stoddard 1850-1931 was an American writer, hymn writer and lecturer who gained popularity through his travelogues. He began travelling around the world in 1874, and published Red-Letter Days Abroad in 1884. He turned his experiences into a series of popular lectures delivered throughout North America. These lectures were periodically published in book form as John L. Stoddards Lectures and eventually numbered ten volumes and five supplements 1897-1898 . The books include numerous illustrations derived from the immense catalog of photographs taken by Stoddard, and cover every subject, from art and architecture, to archeaology and natural history. The books were immensely popular in their day and many copies still survive. Later in life, Stoddard also published poetry, as well as books on religious subjects.
