Rogan's Recollections

(And Occasional Historical Observations)

One of Abraham Lincoln's Last Autographs--150 Years Ago Today

 

This autograph in my political memorabilia collection is worth a look, especially today. Of all the memorabilia in my collection, one of my favorites is this clipped document signed by President Abraham Lincoln on April 11, 1865--three days before his assassination. Today is the 150th anniversary of Lincoln signing this precious clip, which granted yet another pardon for a young Confederate soldier.

 

I took this photograph under fading daylight this evening, so sorry for the less-than-professional shots.

 

By the way, this autograph has more authentication "pedigrees" from world-renowned auction houses, experts, and national archivists than you possess for your AKC dog!
