AMERICAN
HISTORY AS SEEN THROUGH CURRENCY
by
Joanne and Edward Dauer
A Pictorial History of Some of the Rarest U.S. Money Ever Seen
Dr. Edward and Joanne Dauers book
takes us, like a time machine, through the history of America as we ride
their magic carpet of U.S. currency. Never before has a book been
published illustrating in full color rare U.S. currency plus historical
documents written by some of Americas most famous people.
It is truly refreshing to be taken back in time by a book, to revisit
the worlds greatest historical events. Now, for the first time,
we view these events through some of the most beautiful and rarest U.S.
currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
See some of the most beautiful reproductions in full color of rare U.S.
money. The Grand Watermelon note is one of only three by type
that exist in private collections and is extremely rare. Read about the
generals that are illustrated on the currency.
See rare reproductions of documents from historys famous people including
items from the Titanic that were written and sent by some of the victims
of the disaster including a postcard and letter mailed from the ship.
When you remove the glossy full color dust jacket, what is revealed is
an elegant case bound cover in imitation dark brown leather. Gold embossed
artwork decorates the front of the book which is repeated on the spine.
The cover has the look and feel of a fine historical publication that
is usually only found in museums and ancient libraries.
