Beschreibung

Hight was an American Actor. ALS. 1pg. 5" x 8". August 22 [No year]. Roxbury, MA. An autograph letter signed "Ferd. Hight" to Charles S. Greene, mentioning Edwin Booth, the legendary American actor and brother of presidential assassin John Wilkes Booth: "Yours of this date received. I was a member of the company at the National Theatre, Washington, D.C. in 1853. Commenced with Edwin Booth, I think, in Nov'r of that year, and remained until theatre was destroyed by fire in February 1857." The letter also mentions the historic National Theatre, which was founded in 1835 and was destroyed by fire and rebuilt five times during the 19th Century. Of the many stars to grace the stage of America's oldest touring theatre were Junius Brutus Booth, who appeared in the first season of the theatre, and his two brothers, Edwin Thomas and John Wilkes. The letter is in fine condition. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 1225

My specialties include Presidents, Revolutionary War and Civil War figures, Declaration of Independence Signers, famous authors, important business leaders, notable scientists, aviators, notable women and African-Americans, and other "household famous names." I also enjoy handling the letters and archives of ordinary people whose writings have extraordinary or unusual content, such as an eyewitness description of the Pearl Harbor attack. I am a member of all major trade organizations, including the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA), the Professional Autograph Dealers Association (PADA), the Appraisers Association of America, the Manuscript Society and the Ephemera Society. I am located in South Orange, New Jersey, and I travel to many book and manuscript shows every year. I am one of the very few members of the Appraisers Association of America certified to appraise historic documents, manuscripts and letters. I am USPAP qualified to perform appraisals for estate, donation and insurance purposes; please contact me for a confidential discussion of your appraisal needs. I am an author myself, having published The Last Leaf: Voices of History's Last-Known Survivors (Prometheus Books, 2010) that contains 39 interviews with the last survivor of, or final eyewitness to, important historical events. Chapters include interviews with the last three Civil War widows, the final living pitcher to surrender a home run to Babe Ruth, Houdini's last stagehand, and the final American doughboy. Lastly, I can frequently be seen authenticating and appraising on the History Channel hit show Pawn Stars.
