Unique 19th-century autograph album containing the signatures of six American presidents, fifteen senators, several cabinet members, and governors including Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, James Buchanan, and Franklin Pierce. Narrow quarto, bound in one quarter period dark brown cloth over stiff marbled wrappers, the autograph album is a repurposed 19th-century caucus record, dating from ca. 1870. The caucus book is alphabetically tab-indexed and filled out in ink, voters are tracked by their name with caucus results appearing in the back. Although this is labeled âWard 5â in the first page, the term "Ward" was flexible in its usage. This could have been for a Ward election, precinct caucus, legislative, congressional, or state convention caucus. The autographs are mounted over the caucus records in their respective alphabetical tab. Also mounted at front are 6 printed pieces of 19th-century ephemera. The autograph album was assembled between 1877 and 1880 and can be dated by a contemporary pencil note that John Sherman had transitioned from the Senate to be Secretary of the Treasury. From the collection of a Mr. Boyd, a 19th-century Ward politician in the upper Midwest, Minnesota or Wisconsin. The Presidential autographs are primarily clipped from Presidential appointments, and include: Abraham Lincoln, James Buchanan, Ulysses S. Grant, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce and Rutherford B. Hayes. In very good condition. A very rare and unique collection.…
