Joseph Brant Autograph Sold

Joseph Brant, Native American name Thayendanegea, belonged to the Mohawk Native American tribe and lived where present day New York is. Brant is best-known for being a military leader who aligned with loyalists and England’s troops during the American Revolution. He was given the nickname “Monster Brant” during the Revolutionary War based on stories and horrors from the battles. Historians later uncovered that Brant had more compassion and humanity than his wartime reputation led others to believe.

Scarce 1775 Receipt Signed by Paul Revere for His Horseback Ride From Boston to New York — One of Only Two Revere Signed Receipts Regarding His Rides on Behalf of the Colonists to Appear at Auction

Very scarce receipt signed by Paul Revere regarding one of his famous horseback rides, dated 15 February 1775 just two months before his Midnight Ride warning colonists that ”The British Are Coming” before the Battle of Lexington & Concord. As official courier for the Boston Committee of Public Safety, Revere was tasked with riding from Boston to Philadelphia and New York, with historians documenting 18 such rides from December 1773 to November 1775. This was likely the last of the rides before the Revolutionary War began, and is only one of two receipts for the rides ever to appear at auction, with the other selling at Christie’s for $140,000 in 2002. Composed entirely in the hand of Revere, receipt documents expenses ”from Boston to N. York” in the amount of 4 pounds, 3 shillings, and additional expenses for his Horse, and his time, all totaling 13 pounds, 19 shillings. Dated 15 February 1775 by Revere. Document measures 7.5” x 2.25”, framed with an engraving of Revere on horseback to a size of 15.75” x 18”. Uneven edges, clean vertical separation and light chipping at lower left edge. Overall very good plus condition with legible and strong handwriting. With Profiles in History COA. Sold for $36,603.

Revolutionary War-Dated George Washington Autograph; a Letter Signed — Washington Writes During the “Secret” 1777 Winter Encampment at Valley Forge — “…it is highly probable that Troops may soon have to cross over [the Schuylkill River], which must be kept perfectly Secret…”

Historically important George Washington autograph letter signed “G. Washington” from “Headquarters”, dated 1 December 1777, as Washington was deciding where to encamp his troops for the winter. As this letter demonstrates, he had already secured the location of Valley Forge, a decision which proved to be a major success in the War, as the area was highly defensible and strategically located from British forces. Washington would lead his troops to Valley Forge less than three weeks later, on 19 December 1777, where they would regroup for the winter and learn military training from Baron von Steuben. Letter, addressed to Brigadier General Potter, reads: “Sir, Since Mr. Tilghman’s letter of last Evening to you, I have advice from the City which convinces me that the Enemy do not propose coming out as we then expected. I therefore wish that if you will not have crossed the Schuylkill before you receive this, you may remain on the other side for sometime longer. If the Bridge lately built should have suffer’d any Damage by the late Rains, you will get your men to repair it, in the best order you can, as it is highly probable that Troops may soon have to cross over it, which must be kept perfectly Secret. I am Sir Your most Obe’d Serv / G. Washington”. Letter includes an original Crest Watermark. In good condition, with uneven edges, toning and dampstaining throughout, as one would expect of a letter being carried on field in the winter of 1777.  Sold for $30,658.

Countersigned by John Trumbell as Colonel and Washington’s aide, and Joab Stafford, Colonel of the Silver Greys, a battery of Berkshire volunteers.
