Description

Oversized publication entitled "The Assassination Story" compiled by Robert A. Surrey and printed by his American Eagle Publishing Co. in 1964, 60 pages, 14 x 22.5, which reprints newspaper clippings from the Dallas Morning News (November 23-December 11, 1963) and the Dallas Times Herald (November 22-December 10, 1963). Apparently there were only 3,000 of these publications printed, and 900-1,000 had been sold before the Dallas Times Herald ordered a cease-and-desist against American Eagle. Earlier in the year, Surrey and General Edwin A. Walker had produced the 'Wanted for Treason: JFK' handbill, and Walker had been targeted by Lee Harvey Oswald in April—presenting an interesting web of conspiratorial connections associated with this publication. In very good condition, with staining to the covers

From the collection of Ronald E.F. Hoskins.
