SCOTT TAYLOR, Staff WriterLISBON FALLS — As far as Civil War memorabilia goes, Saturday's auction is the mother lode, according to appraiser Daniel Buck Soules, who will sell the items at his gallery here.
"There is nothing anywhere close to this," Soules said. "This is an autograph book, 122 pages with 228 signatures. It's literally a who's who of the Civil War era in Washington, D.C. There is Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Winfield Scott. And it just goes on."
Pick a Union leader or post-war figure and they're represented here: Horace Greeley, Joshua Chamberlain, Brigham Young, Kit Carson.
