A 2x3 piece of Andersonvilles infamous North Gate with a hand-written notation by AB Lawrence and signed on the reverse by Lawrence. In my 40+ years of collecting, Ive never seen another. This piece has provenance in the New Haven Colony Archives as is seen in the final photo in this listing.
AB Lawrences personal survivor medal from the 1914 unveiling of the New York Memorial at Andersonville. The medal is in immaculate condition in the original box which also originates from the New Haven Colony Historical Society Archives. You wont find a better survivor badge. The box is not intact, but it is complete.
A signed copy of John L. Mailes Prison Life at Andersonville. This is book #54 of only 100 copies.This is one of the rarest Civil War books and the rarest book published on the history of Andersonville Prison. Franklin Montroses Dedication Monument Erected by the State of New York at Andersonville, Georgia, 1914. At age 71, I have made the difficult decision to sell off a portion of my collection to assist family members in need.
This collection is very difficult for me to part with, but I do hope that it finds a worthy home. Thank you and best of luck!
