The Hunt For History-On The Trail Of World's Lost Treasures-By Nathan Raab-1st

Description: Hardcover Book With Dust Jacket Titled: The Hunt For History By Nathan Raab - 2020 - First Edition Synopsis:Nathan Raab, America’s preeminent rare documents dealer, describes his years as the Sherlock Holmes of historical artifacts—questing after precious finds and determining their authenticity—and he shows us what the past can tell us about the present.A box uncovered in a Maine attic with twenty letters written by Alexander Hamilton; a handheld address to Congress by President George Washington; a long-lost Gold Medal that belonged to an American President; a note that Winston Churchill wrote to his captor when he was a young POW in South Africa; paperwork signed and filled out by Amelia Earhart when she became the first woman to fly the Atlantic; an American flag carried to the moon and back by Neil Armstrong; an unpublished letter written by Albert Einstein, discussing his theory of relativity.Each day, people from all over the world contact Nathan Raab for help understanding what they have, what it might be worth, and how to sell it. The Raab Collection’s president, Nathan is a modern-day treasure hunter and one of the world’s most prominent dealers of historical artifacts. Most weeks, he travels the country, scours auctions, or fields phone calls and emails from people who think they may have found something of note in a grandparent’s attic.In The Hunt for History, Raab shares some fascinating stories about his professional exploits: spotting a letter from British officials that secured the Rosetta Stone; discovering a piece of the first electric cable laid by Edison; restoring a fragmented letter from Andrew Jackson that led to the infamous Trail of Tears; and locating copies of missing audio that had been recorded on Air Force One as the plane brought JFK’s body back to Washington. Whether it’s the first report of Napoleon’s death or a surreptitious letter penned by Martin Luther King, Jr., to his mistress, every document and artifact Raab uncovers comes with a spellbinding story—and often offers new insights into a life we thought we knew.6 1/4" x 9 1/4" - 251 Pages - Index - Illustrated With Historical Photographs Check Out Our eBay Store (Grannyspalapa) For Other Similar Items www.ebay.com/str/grannyspalapa For International Shipping, please email me for costs
