Freeman’s Presents its Most Significant Western Manuscripts And Miniatures Sale to Date
As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, Freeman’s is pleased to offer a remarkable eyewitness account of one of the defining moments in American history: the British bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The manuscript logbook kept aboard the HMS Trave by Royal Navy midshipman Charles Robert Malden (Lot 264, estimate $60,000 – $80,000) is a highlight of How History Unfolds on Paper: Important Americana from the Eric C. Caren Collection, Part X. Exceptionally rare, Malden’s log is one of only a small number of known contemporary accounts of the September 1814 shelling of Fort McHenry, the battle that inspired Francis Scott Key’s “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Believed to be the only contemporary English eyewitness account of the bombardment to appear on the market, the manuscript provides a firsthand record of the attack as it unfolded from aboard a British warship. “Apart from its incredible rarity, what I find most moving about this amazing logbook is that it records an incident that would forever be remembered by every American thanks to Francis Scott Key,” says Darren Winston, Head of the Books & Manuscripts department. “Like so many things in this sale, its incredible ordinariness is a big part of its magic: a young British midshipman, simply doing his duty and recording what he was witnessing every day—the wind, military engagements, and the events unfolding around him. Who could have known that what he was writing with his quill pen would one day be immortalized in ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ the national anthem of the United States? That is history unfolding on paper.” Kept by Charles Robert Malden, then a young Royal Navy midshipman who would later become First Lieutenant and an accomplished explorer, the log documents the movements of the HMS Trave during the Chesapeake Campaign. The Pallas-class frigate, captured from the French during the Napoleonic Wars and commissioned into British service in 1814, sailed as part of Admiral Alexander Cochrane’s fleet during the advance on Baltimore. Malden recorded the ship’s position, weather conditions, naval operations, and daily activities aboard the vessel. Detail On the night of September 13, 1814, as British forces launched their prolonged assault on Fort McHenry, Malden recorded the bombardment in real time: “Bombs and Frigates weigh and stand in...commenced a tremendous heavy fire on the batteries near Baltimore...Midnight squally with rain Bombs &c keeping up a heavy bombardment on Fort McHenry...AM squally with rain Bomb &c keeping up a heavy fire...” His account captures the hours-long attack as British forces fired cannon, mortars, and rockets against the fort while American troops held their position through the night. The bombardment became one of the defining moments of American history. Witnessing the attack from aboard the British ship HMS Tonnant, Francis Scott Key was inspired by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry the following morning to write the poem that became “The Star-Spangled Banner,” later adopted as the national anthem in 1931. Only a handful of contemporary accounts of the bombardment are known, including Key’s original handwritten draft, preserved at the Maryland Historical Society, and the official report of Fort McHenry commander George Armistead, held by the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Malden’s log offers a rare British perspective on the battle and an extraordinary survival from a pivotal moment in American history.

Lot 220 | A Unique Contemporary Manuscript Account of Joseph Smith's Final Words to His Followers, the Day Before his Violent Death, on the Interior of a Postal Cover | Estimate: $8,000 – $12,000 This summer, Freeman’s is pleased to present How History Unfolds on Paper: Important Americana from the Eric C. Caren Collection, Part X on June 30, 2026, featuring material spanning more than three centuries of American history. This single-owner auction represents one of the most extensive documentations of American history in private hands. Included within the sale is a focused group of material related to Mormonism, bringing together manuscripts, newspapers, and printed ephemera that chronicle the origins, development, and cultural impact of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Spanning the nineteenth century, this selection captures pivotal moments of the Mormon movement through the contemporary materials that recorded them as they unfolded. From a rare firsthand account of Joseph Smith’s final message to his followers before his murder in 1844, to printed materials documenting the church’s expansion into the American West and the controversies surrounding its growth, these objects offer a compelling view into one of the most influential religious movements in American history. "As a uniquely American religion born out of the nation’s fraught westward expansion during the 19th century, the Mormon-related lots perfectly illustrate the theme of Mr. Caren’s sale: history unfolding on paper. How better to understand our history, and that of the Latter-day Saint movement, than by reading and absorbing the everyday examples preserved here—newspapers and magazines—alongside the poignant sentiments penned by Brigham Young’s ex-wife Ann Eliza Young, and finally, the fervor of the moment following Joseph Smith’s murder, captured in the manuscript copy of his final words to his congregation, recorded by one of his close followers,” said Darren Winston, Senior Vice President, Head of Department, Books & Manuscripts. The Freeman’s sale marks the tenth major auction of Mr. Caren’s extensive and carefully curated holdings. The previous nine sales have attracted international attention and strong institutional and private bidding. Auction Highlights: Lot 220 | A Unique Contemporary Manuscript Account of Joseph Smith's Final Words to His Followers, the Day Before his Violent Death, on the Interior of a Postal Cover Estimate: $8,000 – $12,000 This extraordinary manuscript preserves a contemporary account of the final message delivered by Mormon prophet Joseph Smith to his followers on June 26, 1844, the day before his death. Written by George Alley on the interior of a postal cover addressed to his brother, the note records, “The prophet told his people the day before he was killed, to read the 6th Ch. Revelation; as a part was already fulfilled, and the remainder will shortly be.” A Massachusetts shoemaker who converted to the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, Alley migrated to Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1842, where he settled with his family before later joining the Mormon community in the Salt Lake Valley. His daughter Margaret would later marry church president Brigham Young. The manuscript is an exceptional survival relating to the final days of Joseph Smith, who founded the Church of Christ (later known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) and helped establish Nauvoo as one of Illinois’ largest settlements. Following years of political and religious conflict, Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed by a mob at the Carthage Jail on June 27, 1844. Contemporary manuscript accounts of Smith’s final days are exceedingly rare at auction. Lot 221 | Substantial and Nearly Consecutive Run of an Anti-Mormon Newspaper Estimate: $3,000 – $5,000 This substantial run of the Corinne Daily Reporter captures the tensions surrounding Mormonism in the American West following the church’s migration to Utah Territory. Founded in 1869 by Dennis J. Toohy, an Irish attorney and leader of Utah’s anti-Mormon Liberal Party, the newspaper was published in Corinne, Utah—a community established by non-Mormon settlers seeking to challenge Salt Lake City’s economic and political influence. The publication includes local, national, and international news, advertisements, and commentary reflecting the heated debates surrounding the Mormon Church during the late nineteenth century. Lot 222 | Signed Autograph Quote from Ann Eliza Young, Nineteenth Wife of Mormon Leader Brigham Young, Signed During her Divorce Proceedings Against him, 1874 Estimate: $1,500 – $2,500 Autograph quote, signed by Ann Eliza Young: "God grant your sufferings may never / equal mine. / Ann Eliza Young. / January 13th 1874,” nineteenth wife of Mormon leader Brigham Young, penned during her highly publicized divorce proceedings. Born into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois, she married Young on April 7, 1869; at the time, he was 67 and she was a 24-year-old divorcee. In 1873, Ann Eliza filed for divorce, citing neglect, cruel treatment, and desertion. The divorce was granted in 1875. Her later lectures and writings made her one of the most prominent critics of the Mormon Church’s practice of polygamous marriage. Her 1876 autobiography, Wife No. 19, became a widely read account of her experiences and contributed to national conversations surrounding religion, marriage, and federal policy in the American West. Lot 219 | Group of 13 Printed Items Related to Mormonism, ca. 1842-1879 Estimate: $500 – $800 This group of printed material traces the early decades of the Mormon movement. It includes newspapers, such as issues of the Times and Seasons published in Nauvoo, Illinois, and pamphlets documenting the church’s growth, migration west, and evolving relationship with the United States government. Together, these materials provide a window into the religious, political, and social debates that shaped nineteenth-century America.

This summer, Freeman’s is pleased to present How History Unfolds on Paper: Important Americana from the Eric C. Caren Collection, Part X on June 30, 2026, featuring material spanning more than three centuries of American history. This single-owner auction represents one of the most extensive documentations of American history in private hands. Included within the sale is a focused selection of works examining the American experience of war from the Revolutionary era through the Vietnam War, with objects documenting conflict, patriotism, protest, and public memory across nearly two centuries. This group includes books, manuscripts, photographs, broadsides, posters, and ephemera related to pivotal moments in American wartime history. Highlights explore the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the World Wars, and Vietnam-era activism, illustrating how Americans recorded and responded to periods of national conflict both on the battlefield and at home.“It is an honor not only to put together an auction from the over one million items in Mr. Caren’s collection, but also to be able to personally choose the material with him that illustrates American history shown through objects that were meant to be saved but few survived,” said Darren Winston, Senior Vice President, Head of Department, Books & Manuscripts, Philadelphia. The Freeman’s sale marks the tenth major auction of Mr. Caren’s extensive and carefully curated holdings. The previous nine sales have attracted international attention and strong institutional and private bidding. Auction Highlights: A Call to Arms in the Months Following the Declaration of Independence: A 1777 Continental Army Recruitment Poster | Estimate: $6,000 – 9,000 Boston: Benjamin Edes, ca. January 28, 1777. A rare and early Continental Army recruitment poster, issued only months after the Declaration of Independence, seeking to entice men from Massachusetts to join the fight for independence. Printing the resolutions of the Continental Congress and the Massachusetts Legislature, this broadside lists the inducements offered to potential recruits, including a $20 bounty, 100 acres of land, and a new suit of clothing. It goes on to offer soldiers "disabled in the Service of the United States of America" a disability pension, as well as a further $20 if they enlist with a "good effective Fire-Arm, and also a Bayonet, or in Lieu thereof, a Sword, Hatchet or Tomahawk, a Cartridge Box and Knapsack". Finally, every recruit shall receive "a good Blanket," or a reimbursement of 18 shillings if they provide their own. Old Soldiers Never Die Young Ones Do | Estimate: $150 – 250 Kent, Ohio, ca. 1968-70. Color screen-print. A bright example of this anti-Vietnam War poster, a very different sentiment from the recruitment poster above, printed almost 200 years later. One of the Only Surviving Letters from Ernest Hemingway to His Third Wife, Journalist Martha Gellhorn | Estimate: $7,000 – 10,000 Very rare World War II-dated letter from Ernest Hemingway to his third wife and fellow war correspondent and writer, Martha Gellhorn, while a war correspondent for Collier's. He writes while attached to an advancing American military unit in Nazi- occupied France. Gellhorn famously destroyed most of her files and correspondence shortly before her death, including some to her from Hemingway. This letter is one of a very small number from him to her to survive in general, and it is possibly one of only two that remain in private hands. The First Report of the Battle of Bunker Hill Printed in England | Estimate: $3,000 – 5,000 The London Gazette, July 22, 1775. Very rare issue, containing the first English appearance of Colonial Governor Thomas Gage's account of the Battle of Bunker Hill. He offers an inflated account of the conflict, emphasizing rebel losses while downplaying those of the British. Despite his attempts to control the narrative of the conflict, Gage was dismissed from his office three days after his report was received. This is the only known copy of this issue to ever be offered at auction. How to Bid How History Unfolds on Paper: Important Americana from the Eric C.
