James Thomas Tague’s Eyewitness Typescript Signed

Eyewitness (born 1936) who received a minor wound on his right cheek during the assassination from the ricochet of a bullet. Souvenir typescript from JFK: Breaking the Silence, one page, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in ballpoint, “James T. Tague.” In part: "To the few who know of his role in Dealey Plaza, he projects the image of a stunned young man, wiping with his hand at a spot of blood on his face—blood drawn by a tiny fragment of a bullet intended for JFK…federal authorities at first tried to pretend that Jim Tague did not exist…but nothing they have been able to do can alter these two basic facts: 1. Jim Tague was—and is—the 'third victim' of the shots that killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally. 2. His experience at the moment of the shooting constitutes 'living proof' that the Warren Commission's claim of a single assassin firing three bullets—and three bullets only—at the presidential motorcade is factually unsupportable…The indisputable fact remains that if three bullets struck within the presidential car and another struck the curb near Tague, all four of them could not have been fired by Oswald—or any other single individual, for that matter." In very fine condition. RR Auction COA.
