had been very slow. But for me to fight on and he was sure I would win out in

We have just left the Hotel and taken A suite here. We have A pretty living
room, furnished in wicker with pretty colors. A wicker table with plate glass

will get the sun about all day. 2 nice hot water radiators. And a fire place
with gass logs.…"

Lindbergh's driver's license application signed by him twice and
notarized, only three months before the kidnapping of his infant son. In the
year after the kidnapping, with the baby found dead but no suspect yet

extensively in the kidnapping case.

"Lucky Lindy" talks about flying Jennies and why he dislikes reunions,
ceremonies and dinners.
TLS: "Charles", 1p, 8½x11. Germany,
1963 March 19. To Joe. On blue light-weight stationery. In full:
"This is an awfully late answer to your January letter. My mail is always
hopelessly stacked up, literally, and I have taken taken (sic) some of it abroad
with me in the hope of catching up a bit at least with the letters I want most
to write. It is really good of you to invite me to the reunion of the 110th
Observation Squadron, and I do have a very close feeling toward the Squadron --
I often think of the old days flying 'Jennies' at Lambert Field. But Joe, I
think reunions are for those who like them (and may God bless them). To me,
reunions are pretty awful; they always detract from qualities of memory which I
prefer to leave to the past where I think they belong and have the greatest
value. Also, I like to live quietly and to concentrate on my work and interests.
I realized, many years ago, that this kind of life was simply not compatible
with ceremonies and dinners, for one led to another and there seemed to be no
end. With the exception of two in Washington, which came under the 'private'
category, and which were more or less unavoidable, it is now close to a decade
since I have attended a formal dinner.…"

Rare, signed, sepia-toned photograph of Annie Oakley holding a double-barreled
shotgun in a gloved hand. Materials signed by Oakley are extremely rare and desirable!
Photograph mount signed "Annie. Oakley.". B/w sepia-toned, 3¾x5½ photo mounted on a
4¼x6½ card with rounded edges. Cabinet card photograph by Baker's Art Gallery, Columbus,
Ohio. Oakley (1860-1926, born Phoebe Anne Moses in Darke County, Ohio), was born to a
Quaker family and began to shoot rabbits and quail at age nine. Within five years, she was a
breadwinner for her family as a markswoman, and, at age 15, she saved her family's farm
with income she had earned from shooting game. On August 23, 1876, at age 16, Annie
married Frank Butler, a vaudeville performer who became her partner. Annie's self-effacing
personality (on and off stage) made her a popular performer. In 1885, the Butlers joined
Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show, where Annie was a star for 17 years. The
five-foot-tall Oakley got her name "Little Sure Shot" from Sitting Bull and used it in
her promotional materials. In 1901, she and her husband decided to retire from public life.
However, shooting was in her blood, and the Butlers continued to make appearances around
the country.
The famous Wild West showman pens a hopeful letter to his friend, stating "New
England was never big for me. But wait till we start west. I predict a big season." The
letter was written during the downfall of Cody's show empire due to outside expenses
draining the immense profits from his show
Autograph letter signed: "Col.", 1 page, 8½x11 framed to an overall size of 25½x18½. Buffalo
Bill's Wild West combined with Pawnee Bill's Great Far East. May 29, 1911. Portsmouth,
[New Hampshire]. In full: "Dear Mayor Glad Light, Your letter which found me is fine health.
We had two bad towns last week. Fitchburg & Newburyport. No one ever done business in either.
The week hurt us at least $2000 in Lowell-sent your bank 5100 today to take up one of my notes.
Been getting good deposits from the mines. Been getting in shape [illegible] or any one. I believe
I'll walk a sale of the [illegible]. Note if good are doing. [illegible]. While I telegraph you for now
we are all OK here-now. And barring accident we will be OK. New England was never big for
me. But wait till we start west. I predict a big season. Love to you". William Frederick Cody
(1846-1917) earned the name "Buffalo Bill" for killing thousands of buffalo as a hired
hunter in 1867 and 1868.
The legendary sheriff who gunned down Billy the Kid signed this typed letter regarding a
transfer of money
Typed Letter Signed: "P. F. Garrett, Sheriff". 8½x6¼. Dated August 16, 1900. One page. In
Full: "For value received, I hereby transfer…to Mr. S. Spitz of Santa Fe New Mexico, my
account against the Territory of New Mexico for Fifty Dollars…for Requisition issued by the
Governor of the Territory of New Mexico." Accompanied by a mailing envelope addressed to
Garrett. Patrick Garrett (1850-1908) lived a fairly long life despite his proclivity for
gunfights and maintaining the law. After being elected to Sheriff in Lincoln County, New
Mexico in November of 1880, Garrett engaged in a nine-month chase to hunt down Billy the
Kid, even crossing county lines. He shot and killed the criminal on July 15, 1881. Garrett
published a book about Billy the Kid and his unlawful lifestyle, making him out to be a
ruffian. Other sources mythicized Billy the Kid, and this latter point-of-view generally won
the day despite Garrett's best efforts. Following this lawful murder, Garrett became a Texas
Ranger and continued to engage in law enforcement activities until 1901, when he was
appointed the Collector of Customs in El Paso.
B/w photograph of Annie Oakley from the chest up in a white blouse and jacket. This
photo is especially unusual because it shows her without the rows of shooting medals
that she often wore. Anything signed by Oakley is exceedingly rare.
Photograph mount signed: "Compliments. of/Annie. Oakley." on verso. B/w, 4¼x6½ overall,
image 4x5½ (two surfaces). Photograph by Gray, 1030 Tremont St., Boston (imprint at lower
margin). Oakley (1860-1926, born Phoebe Anne Moses in Darke County, Ohio), was born to
a Quaker family and began to shoot rabbits and quail at age nine. Within five years, she was a
