He grew up in Switzerland and became a professor of natural history at University of Neuchâtel. Later, he accepted a professorship at Harvard University in the United States. In 1837 Agassiz was the first to scientifically propose that the Earth had been subject to a past ice age. At Neuchâtel Agassiz completed his monumental. Exquisitely illustrated Recherches sur les poissons fossiles(1833-1843) a book that brought together much of what was then known about fossil fishes and that did much to stimulate future research into extinct life of all kinds. During his years at Neuchâtel, he also completed the Nomenclator Zoologicus(1842-1846) a vast annotated list of all generic names that had been used in zoological nomenclature from the time of Linnaeus. Through his Harvard years of teaching future prominent scientists. Agassiz had perhaps the greatest influence of any single individual in the 19th century on the future course of American zoology and geology. But he is now remembered primarily for his ice age

THREE STOOGES Rare Signed Photo & Letter EMIL SITKA the "UNKNOWN" Last Stooge
Offered here is a wonderful pair of THREE STOOGES memorabilia. A 1p. ALS, undated, 4 1/4" x 7" on the actor's personal stationery) and a signed/ inscribed b/w photograph, 3" x 3 7/8" both signed by Emil Sitka(letter is simply signed"Emil" EMIL SITKA(1914-1998) was the seventh(and last) man to bear the title of Stooge. In 1957, when Joe Besser left due to the illness of his wife, he was replaced by Curly-Joe DeRita in 1958. This trio of Stooges, Moe, Larry, and Curly-Joe, would go on to make several feature films- including HAVE ROCKET, WILL TRAVEL, SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES, THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES, etc. By 1965, the older Stooges were virtually done with slapstick comedy, and in 1969 a Stooges' travelouge, called KOOK'S TOUR, was scheduled to be filmed. Unfortunately, production stopped ... morein 1970 when Larry Fine had a major stroke(his left side paralyzed, Larry would die in 1975) The remaining Stooges then approached veteran comic Emil Sitka(he had appeared in some 40 Stooges' shorts) and he agreed to join the group. However, that trio never started any projects, and the death of Moe Howard in 1975 ended all hopes for another Stooges' project. Sitka, thus, became the truly unknown Stooge. Both items were sent to a"Peter" with the letter saying: Did you get to see the 2-hr. TV Stooge Special? I'm still on my memoirs and staying active. Fondly, Emil" Some light surface scratches and imperfections in the photograph; letter in fine condition(never folded)

Photo and Signed Letter Admiral R.E. Byrd (1930) Albany NY Key to the City
This lot features a signed letter and portrait of Admiral Richard E. Byrd thanking the City Historian of Albany. NY for offering him the key to the city on June 25th, 1930. This would have been only one week after he returned from an expedition to the South Pole. The letter is dated October 27th, 1930 and he notes that he was on a lecture tour. Since the photo seems to be the same one that was used in ads for the movie. With Byrd at the South Pole that first viewed in 1930. It is likely that he was on a promotional tour at the time he sent this letter. A wonderful piece of history for Byrd lovers! While the photo and letter are in nice condition, the framing is a little amateurish, and overseas bidders might save a bunch of money on shipping by not taking the frame. Shipping and handling in US is $3.95 with others paying actual costs. $19.95 ... moreto most overseas countries and $12.95 to Canada by air) I will combine shipping charges. So please take a look at my other auction and store items at. You may return any item purchased within 7 days.

1911 Typed Letter Dept of the Interior Office of Indian Affairs Denver Co Signed
This is really such an interesting letter. As you can see in the scans it has a“Department of the Interior. Office of Indian Affairs, Headquarters Field Supervisors, Denver Colo. letterhead. It’s a two page typed letter and dates July 18 th. 1911. The letter is to Miss Lucrettia T. Ross, Supervising Nurse, Pawnee, Oklahoma. It is signed by Joseph A. Murphy. Medical Supervisor. It’s all about Miss’s Ross’s nursing ability and gives her high praise. I want to give you a bit of background surrounding these two people. On the web in a 1911 magazine I found an article about Miss Ross and it talks about her being the Supervisor of Nurses in the Indian Service and“one of the most consecrated women in the work. This is a very interesting article too because it takes place right before the time of this letter and I must quote from the article as I ... morebelieve it has some relevance to this letter… June 24 th. 1911, INDIAN LIFE IS CHEAP Then Miss Lucretia T. Ross. Supervisor of Nurses in the Indian Service, and one of the most consecrated women in the work, ventured to make a protest to the Assistant Commissioner. It appears that there had recently been a malignant epidemic of malarial fever in one of the Pueblos. This particular Pueblo had on hand none of the common remedies used in such cases. While a neighboring Pueblo had a big surplus of these same remedies and no malaria. Miss Ross appealed to Superintendent Crandall to have some of these medicines transferred from the Pueblo where they were no needed to the Pueblo where they were needed and needed urgently. Crandall refused the request on the ground that it would involve too much clerical work to make the transfer on his books. And so the Indians were left to die. Miss Ross reported the matter to the Assistant Commissioner Abbott and came near being discharged from the service for her trouble. She was given to understand that she should attend to her own business and not complain to Mr. Crandall. She was then transferred to an obscure post in Oklahoma as a p

IMPORTANT HISTORICAL HAND WRITTEN & SIGNED 3 Pg LETTER BY P T BARNUM 1869
Up for auction comes this historical letter written by P T Barnum in 1869 at the time he was writing his book forty years recollections. This letter was wrote to a man named Stuart to go over an account that took place aboard the steamer Falcon on it’s way from Havana Cuba to New Orleans. On board was James Gordon Bennett Jr. and his wife. Editor and publisher of the New York Herald. Also on board was Henry Bennett who was an agent and worked for Barnum. James Gordon Bennett wrote some bad reviews in his paper for Jenny Lind and that angered Henry Bennett to the point that he wanted to kill James by way of throwing him overboard and drowning him. Barnum stopped him in a drunken rage that night aboard the ship and made public an account of it in his book, Chapter 20 page 120. The 3 page hand written letter by Barnum goes into greater detail ... moreabout that night. James Bennett was going forward on the ship to play with his monkey that he bought for his wife in Cuba( he was drunk most likely as where others) this is when Henry told the others he was going forward to through him over. There is more to the letter but this is the purpose of the letter, to get the account accurate for the writing of his book. The letter is written on his personal stationary written at Waldemere Bridgeport Connecticut July 13th 1869. At top of letter there is a written notation“ fro Mr. or Mrs. P. T. Barnum given me by Mrs. Paine HTL 1891. HTL is Hanna T. Lawrence of Bay Side Long Island. Hanna was from the prominent Bay Side Lawrence Family. I think her father or brother was Henry E. Lawrence, the son of Ann Townsend(fl.1802-1830s) and Judge Effingham Lawrence. You can do some more research going to the web site of the Lawrence family cemetery in Bayside. This 3 page letter is tip in a scrap book that belonged to Hanna Townsend Lawrence. I bought this scrap book from an estate who’s family came from a very prominent New York Family. The family was connected to Joseph& Henry Lawrence, founder and president of the United States Trust Co
