- ALEXANDER MACOMB, THOMAS JESUP, ALSAn
ALEXANDER MACOMB, THOMAS JESUP, ALSAn absolutely fascinating item. This is a two-sided, handwritten and signed piece from 1834, presumed to be from an autograph collection, one side written by ALEXANDER MACOMB, Commanding General of the U.S. Army from 1828-41, who received the Congressional Gold Medal for his victory at the Battle of Plattsburgh during the War of 1812. The other side was written by THOMAS SIDNEY JESUP, brigadier general and the second longest serving Quartermaster General in U.S. history, at 42 years. Both generals served in the Seminole Wars and were friends. On one side, Jesup has written a poem to the daughter of a friend of his (purported to be Gen. J.H. Hobart Ward). On the other, Macomb writes some personal thoughts about the science of autography: "If Phrenology is the science of the mind as connected with the supposed organs of thought ... why may not the study of autographs lead to the establishment of a science by which the various dispositions of men may be discovered? ... there is certainly a strong affinity between the hand and the heart, and perhaps Miss Ward may, when she shall have completed her collection of autographs form a system on autography that may prove fully as useful as Phrenology." Page measures about 10-3/8" x 8-3/4". This document is one of several dozen important signed pieces in today's sale that were part of a large collection of American historical documents from 1650 through WWII. The estate collection, assembled from about 1920-1960, has never been offered for sale at auction. See images for more details on condition. This item can be shipped in-house.
