Signature: "George William Curtis/[illegible]", in
black ink, 3¾x2½. George Curtis (1824-1892) was educated at Brook
Farm and then moved to Concord, Massachusetts, where he learned from such

Americans and women, civil service reform, public education and environmental

Civil War, Grover Cleveland. Curtis also wrote travelogues, poetry and one
novel, Trumps (1862). Toned. Fine condition.
