GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS
This note was handwritten, dated and signed by Curtis in 1869
Autograph sentiment signed "with the good wishes/of/George William
Curtis-/October 19, 1869". Curtis (1824-1892, born in Providence,
Rhode Island) was educated at Brook Farm and then moved to Concord,
Massachusetts, where he learned from such American literary luminaries as
Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne. Lead editorial writer (1857) and then editor
of Harper's Weekly (1863), Curtis wrote in favor of emancipation;
equal rights for African-Americans, native Americans and women; civil service
reform; public education and environmental conservation. A life-long
Republican, he was a leader of the reform-minded "Mugwumps" who refused to
support the Party's nominee of 1884, James Blaine, helping to elect the
first Democratic President since the Civil War, Grover Cleveland. Curtis also
wrote travelogues, poetry and one novel, Trumps (1862). Lightly toned and
creased, otherwise in fine condition.
