RE: Who is this person?
You got it Roger. It is Hertz. Before this question I had known very little about Hertz the person, and this was an eye-opening experience for me. For example, in 1927, which was 13 years before his death in 1940, Hertz sold his Lincoln collection. None of the newspaper accounts say why he decided to sell, but he realized $46,604, which is almost $700,000 in today's money.
Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
