Default What Else Do You Collect?

Posted By: ramram

Historical manuscript items and images. i.e. Revolutionary War letters, Civil War, WWI, WWII soldier diaries, Trails (Oregon, Calif., Santa Fe) Diaries, Civil War images, original soldier drawings and paintings....stuff like that.

In spite of all of these, one of my most enjoyable items is a diary from a hippie college kid in 1970. He describes in detail his summer trip with a buddy, day by day, hitch hiking across the country, smoking dope, drinking and picking up girls. He ends up in San Fran and hangs out with the hippies around Height Ashbury. A real testament to the time. Uhhhh, by the way, this diary didn't come from one of you guys...did it??
