The hunt for history [sound recording] : on the trail of the world's lost treasures--from the letters of Lincoln, Churchill, and Einstein to the secret recordings onboard JFK's Air Force One / by Raab, Nathan,1978-author.(CARDINAL)826838; Barr, Luke,author.(CARDINAL)353635;
Early Days : Babe Ruth and Teddy Roosevelt -- Lessons from my father -- What is it worth? -- The gold medal, the top hat, and the martini shaker -- The auction game -- The art of the fake -- The real Ronald Reagan -- The mystery of the Washington survey -- Taking the reins -- The report of the death of Napoleon -- Provenance, or, where's this stuff been hiding? -- Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein -- "I know you think women are the pets of society" -- Thomas Jefferson's library -- The JFK tapes -- The legacy of MLK -- Andrew Jackson and the Trail of Tears -- Smuggled out of Nazi Germany -- Vein of gold.A box uncovered in a Maine attic with twenty letters written by Alexander Hamilton; a handheld address to Congress by President George Washington; a long-lost Gold Medal that belonged to an American President; a note that Winston Churchill wrote to his captor when he was a young POW in South Africa; paperwork signed and filled out by Amelia Earhart when she became the first woman to fly the Atlantic; an American flag carried to the moon and back by Neil Armstrong; an unpublished letter written by Albert Einstein, discussing his theory of relativity. Each day, people from all over the world contact Nathan Raab for help understanding what they have, what it might be worth, and how to sell it. The Raab Collection's president, Nathan is a modern-day treasure hunter and one of the world's most prominent dealers of historical artifacts. Most weeks, he travels the country, scours auctions, or fields phone calls and emails from people who think they may have found something of note in a grandparent's attic. In The Hunt for History, Raab shares some fascinating stories about his professional exploits: spotting a letter from British officials that secured the Rosetta Stone; discovering a piece of the first electric cable laid by Edison; restoring a fragmented letter from Andrew Jackson that led to the infamous Trail of Tears; and locating copies of missing audio that had been recorded on Air Force One as the plane brought JFK's body back to Washington. Whether it's the first report of Napoleon's death or an unpublished letter penned by Albert Einstein to a curious soldier, every document and artifact Raab uncovers comes with a spellbinding story--and often offers new insights into a life we thought we knew.
