Description

Douglas pens an account of a 1840 court case

Eminent American senator and statesman (1813–1861), dubbed the ‘Little Giant,’ perhaps best remembered for his role in the Lincoln-Douglas debates during the 1858 campaign for the Senate race in Illinois. ADS, one page both sides, 12.5 x 7.75, July 10, 1840. Written account of the case, William Camp v. Joseph Klein, written and signed in Douglas’ hand, with a note from Stephen T. Logan at the conclusion of the document. In very good condition, with scattered surface creasing, a uniform shade of toning, with the bottom half of the document cleanly separated and archivally repairable. Accompanied by an engraved picture of Douglas. RRAuction COA.
