Folks, here’s
the real story of a young girl who was born in an Indian Village in
Wisconsin Territory where her father was a frontier surveyor. After
living in various states her father moved his family to Washington,
D. C. at the beginning of the Civil War. It was there Vinnie Ream
studied to be a sculptress and was granted sittings five months
before Lincoln’s death. Afterwards, she won over
20 sculptors the contract for a full-length statue of him and
worked in a studio in the basement of the Capitol. The impeachment
of Andrew Johnson came up during this time and charges were brought
against Vinnie Ream for influencing Senator Ross to cast his vote
for President Johnson. She was charged with being a part of a
conspiracy against the Radical Republicans and for a time they
closed her studio in the Capitol and it seemed the statue was
doomed.
This is an amazing story of the
girl Lincoln befriended.

Please read this. There were many
western stories published – the common ones
about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the
little known ones like this rare and hard to find story about a
obscure event in the post civil war era is a particularly hard to
come by issue and includes one of the better, untold and rarer
stories published.
It’s one of the
best.
FOLLOWING PURCHASE AND PAYMENT, IF
YOU WILL WRITE ME OF YOUR SPECIAL NAME OR INTEREST, I WILL DO A
FREE SEARCH OF MY WEBSITE AND UNINDEXED STORIES AND NAMES.
WWW.GENEALOGYIMAGESOFHISTORY.COM
IF I FIND SOMETHING THAT I THINK
MERITS YOUR INTEREST, I WILL WRITE A REVIEW AND PLACE IT ON EBAY
AND GIVE YOU NOTICE AND A HEAD START TO
BUYITNOW!
Following my retirement, I have
dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our
western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands
of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book
dealer’s shelf. Because Old Civil War History
and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every
item I sell.
This complete index will be bound
and included in this offering at no additional cost.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our
history alive.
I hope you appreciate the
effort.

OLD ABE LINCOLN MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
While others
clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a
shame that our past is being lost. It’s as
simple as that.
My wife kids me
that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it,
take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee
and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But,
OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!!
Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old
complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good
condition, the cover is in vibrant color.
As clearly
stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found
and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give
out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors
copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope
you understand.
Buyer pays
postage of $3.50 First Class Postage to U. S.; $4.60 Priority;
$4.50 to Canada; $10.00 via USPS First Class Mail International for
International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax.
Thanks,
Tom
