RARE & IMPORTANT BOOK OF 1860s CONGRESSMEN SIGNATURES

Item Details

Description

This one of a kind autograph book was personally compiled for Carrie V. Hollister, the younger sister of Schulyer Colfax (VP under US Grant and Speaker of the House of Representatives before that) and wife of Ovando J. Hollister (author, historian, newspaper editor, and civic leader). It is filled with more than 250 signatures of United States Senators and members of the House of Representatives during the mid-1800s. A spreadsheet detailing research on each signature is included as well. Most notable are the signatures of President James A. Garfield, three US Vice Presidents (Colfax, Hannibal Hamlin, and Henry Wilson), Lyman Trumbull (US Senator who co-authored the 13th amendment that abolished slavery), Frederick A. Sawyer (US Senator who was at Ford's Theater the night President Lincoln was assassinated), and numerous Civil War heroes. Nearly every page in the book contains three signatures! It is in excellent condition and a remarkable historical artifact.
