520    Nathan Raab, America's preeminent rare documents dealer, 
       describes his years as the Sherlock Holmes of historical 
       artifacts, questing after precious finds and determining 
       their authenticity, and he shows us what the past can tell
       us about the present. A box uncovered in a Maine attic 
       with twenty letters written by Alexander Hamilton; a 
       handheld address to Congress by President George 
       Washington; a long-lost Gold Medal that belonged to an 
       American President; a note that Winston Churchill wrote to
       his captor when he was a young POW in South Africa; 
       paperwork signed and filled out by Amelia Earhart when she
       became the first woman to fly the Atlantic; an American 
       flag carried to the moon and back by Neil Armstrong; an 
       unpublished letter written by Albert Einstein, discussing 
       his theory of relativity. Each day, people from all over 
       the world contact Nathan Raab for help understanding what 
       they have, what it might be worth, and how to sell it. The
       Raab Collection's president, Nathan is a modern-day 
       treasure hunter and one of the world's most prominent 
       dealers of historical artifacts. Most weeks, he travels 
       the country, scours auctions, or fields phone calls and 
       emails from people who think they may have found something
       of note in a grandparent's attic. In The Hunt for History,
       Raab shares some fascinating stories about his 
       professional exploits: spotting a letter from British 
       officials that secured the Rosetta Stone; discovering a 
       piece of the first electric cable laid by Edison; 
       restoring a fragmented letter from Andrew Jackson that led
       to the infamous Trail of Tears; and locating copies of 
       missing audio that had been recorded on Air Force One as 
       the plane brought JFK's body back to Washington. Whether 
       it's the first report of Napoleon's death or an 
       unpublished letter penned by Albert Einstein to a curious 
       soldier, every document and artifact Raab uncovers comes 
       with a spellbinding story-and often offers new insights 
       into a life we thought we knew.
