Interesting collection of American historical artifacts headlined by 2 identical Eisenhower-Nixon comic book style pieces of campaign literature. It implores us to vote Republican in order to save us from certain destruction. One part states the accomplishments of the first Eisenhower administration: “Established Health-Education-Welfare Dept. Biggest tax cut in history. Social Security increased and extended. Minimum wage increased from $.75 to $1.00. Promoted health and medical research and more hospitals” proving once again that both Parties claim both sides of the fence in every political discourse. Also, 6 letters and documents, including bills of sale for Negro slaves and a letter dated 1823, written by Taylor Berry to his uncle, Gen. James Berry, who fought with Hull’s Army. Finally, a note from Forest Sweet commenting on the historical nature of the Berry letter. Some nice glimpses into our history.
