Excerpt from The Oliver R. Barrett: Lincoln Collection
"The collector's flair leading Barrett since he was a boy has resulted in a mass of source materials wherein are many items that would have probably been lost for historical purposes but for the sagacity and method by which they were sought. This is a story by itself, a man-sized narrative of many findings related to a passion for the genuine, and to the personal attachment that may go with tokens, belongings, keepsakes, records touching great occasions of the past.
"Keen in the scrutiny of evidence and shrewd in his analysis of documents; a man droll, inventive, quizzical and lovable in the company of children; a long distance walker, a fisherman, story-teller, bookman; a man who took a ten or fifteen mile hike at midnight or dawn when the impulse moved him; a man who enjoyed being ungrammatical when with ungrammatical people; with the restless urge of the pony express rider modulated by the peaceful preoccupations of the antiquarian. "
"And the Lincoln Collection of Oliver R.Barrett, which represents toil, pursuit, and sagacity of more than half a century - you tell what is in it, if you can, and there is no need to say more. Many kinds of paper here - heavy parchment and vellum engrossed - legal cap - letter and note paper - scrap - newsprint of the later era now beginning to disintegrate - rag paper of the previous generation, tough and fibrous and good for centuries to come with its register of handwriting or printing - quiet paper that whispers its tender message, or groaning, roaring paper that for those of imagination carries its own grief or elation of a vanished hour and day. Paper, if you please, sir or madam, as soundless as hushed footfalls on silent snow.
