Lincoln’s Legacy: Historic Americana from the Life of Abraham Lincoln

Freeman’s | Hindman is proud to announce Lincoln’s Legacy: Historic Americana from the Life of Abraham Lincoln, a landmark public auction of manuscripts, letters, campaign ephemera, keepsakes, and personal effects that chronicle the extraordinary life of America’s 16th President. 

Comprising approximately 140 carefully-selected items, Lincoln’s Legacy is presented on behalf of the Lincoln Presidential Foundation, a national non-profit which owns an extensive collection of Lincoln-related historic materials.
