Synopsis

Engendering a history unto themselves, the stories of Nelson's possessions, both before and after his tragic death, are meticulously outlined in this compelling study. The incident of the stolen chelengk--the shattered display case and the claims of notorious cat-burglar George "Taters" Chatham that he had stolen it--is just one of the many bizarre and intriguing mysteries surrounding Nelson's possessions.
