A propos de cet article

A manuscript letter along with an unrecorded handbill of Henry C. Dane. Major Henry Dane was a Civil War veteran who made his way to Australia and New Zealand in 1887 as a lecturer. He began as a wheelwright, then enlisted at age 29 in Cambridge, 4 Oct., 1862, and mustered in as 1st Lieutenant. He received a commission as Captain of Co. "F", Third Massachusetts Calvary Regiment.

Includes the Sydney franked original envelope. Also included is a copy of the Sydney printed handbill advertising his lectures which he sent to his friend.
