Excerpt from The Logan Emancipation Cabinet of Letters and Relics of John Brown and Abraham Lincoln: Being an Article Prepared Specially for the Chicago TribuneNot all of the interesting and thrilling relics Of American history are to be found in public museums, whether of high or low degree. The greatest curios of the world perhaps' are stowed away in the private cabinets of wealthy people of taste and culture; and Chicago has its share of this class of people. Among them is F. G. Logan, the well-known grain-merchant, whose elegant mansion. At 2919 Prairie avenue contains a collection of relics, literary and otherwise, which have been for many years the envy of curiosity hunters. Their various owners have al ways regarded them as too sacred to be used for any mercenary purpose, and have never exhibited them to any but their choicest friends. But it is now probablethat the people of the United States will be allowed to look on them in the World's Columbian Exhibition of next year.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
