Loose_leaf. Condition: Near Fine. 8.25" x 11" sheet typing paper; original typescript excerpt signed. Condition: two horitzontal folds else fine. Original typescript of the final stanza (stanza 9) of Kantor's famous poem: "Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg", signed by Mackinlay Kantor (most likely typed by Kantor himself though that cannot be established) . Provenance: purchased at auction from large collection. From Wikipedia: MacKinlay Kantor, was an American journalist, novelist and screenwriter. He wrote more than 30 novels, several set during the American Civil War, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1956 for his 1955 novel, "Andersonville". He also wrote the novel "Gettysburg", set during the Civil War. Kantor's poem, "Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg" published in 1933, memorializes Lincoln's November, 1863 visit to the ceremonies dedicating the new Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg, where he (Lincoln) gave "a few appropriate remarks" that live on in history as the Gettysburg Address. Kantor's poem ends with a few lines that portray Lincoln's humanity as perceived by a dog: "I was a dog of Gettysburg. I trotted near the train And nosed among the officers, who kicked me to my pain. A man came by. . . . I could not see. I howled. The light was dim, But when I brushed against his legs, I liked the smell of him.".…
