About Yesterday’s “Discovery”…
Hope everyone enjoyed the adventure of my latest historical find! While I’d love to uncover a $7 million Revolutionary War map (especially one with a B. Franklin signature), yesterday’s post was all in good fun.
April Fools’ Day has become a bit of a tradition here—if you missed my Shakespeare First Folio yard sale discovery from 2017, it’s worth a read too.
Back to reality… but if anyone does happen to have a priceless artifact tucked behind an old frame, let me know!
Ravi D. Goel, MD collects historical documents as a hobby and has donated manuscripts and collections to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, Amherst College, Dickinson College, Forest History Society, Harvard University, Minnesota Historical Society, Princeton University, Yale University, and YIVO Institute. Goel collection highlights are described here.
(If you’ve been following my adventures in collecting, you might recall a certain Shakespeare First Folio I discovered at a local yard sale. For those who missed that unforgettable find, you can relive the story here.)
