Signed sepia-toned cabinet card photo of Samuel Francis Smith, the man who wrote the
hymn America
Photograph Mount signed: "S. Fr. Smith." B/w sepia-toned, 4¼x6 overall, image 4x5¼ (two
surfaces). After a visit to Germany in 1831, 23-year-old theological student Samuel
Francis Smith (1808-1895), impressed that German children started their school day by
singing a hymn, wrote a patriotic hymn using a simple German melody. Coincidentally,
the melody was the same as that of the British national anthem, "God Save the King". Smith
jotted down the complete hymn on a piece of scrap paper within half an hour, and the
result, "America", was first sung at a children's celebration in Boston's Park Street
Church on July 4, 1832. George Gershwin used Smith's phrase "Of Thee I Sing" as the title of
his 1932 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. quoted
the entire first stanza as he concluded his "I have a dream" speech in front of the Lincoln
Memorial in 1963. Stray ink smudge on mount above signature. Slightly soiled at upper left and
right edges of mount. Otherwise, fine condition.
Young and his wife Mary Ann Young sign a document agreeing to sell land in
Salt Lake City (1873).
Partly Printed Document signed: "Brigham Young" [added in another
hand: "Sen"], 4 pages, 8½x14. Salt Lake City, Utah, 1873 July 29. Also
signed "Mary A Young"; witnessed "R.R. Anderson" and "Jas. A.
Young". An indenture in which Young agrees to sell a 6,600 square foot tract
of land in Salt Lake City to David McKenzie for $20,000. Signed on front.
Notary's seal on inside cover. BRIGHAM YOUNG (1801-1877) succeeded the
murdered Joseph Smith as head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
in 1844. He guided the mass migration of the LDS faithful ("Mormons") to the
Great Salt Lake Valley in Utah and served as the first Governor of the Territory
of Utah (1849-1857). "Sen" distinguishes Young from Brigham Young, Jr.
(1836-1903), a son by Mary who held important posts in the Church. MARY ANN
YOUNG (1834-1882) was Young's second (and likely, favorite) wife, agreeable
to his wedding additional wives. Lightly creased and soiled. Overall, fine
condition.Supporters of the Melchett Memorial Fund signed this letter to the editor of The
