This Presidents’ Day weekend, it behooves Americans to think on some of the great executives who have led this country. Indeed, it is beneficial to think about the earliest presidents: George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. The three didn’t simply set standards for the traditions and expectations of what a president should be, they ensured that an American presidency was even possible.
The Raab Collection, a Pennsylvania-based business that specializes in the discovery, purchase, and selling of rare historical documents and artifacts, has acquired a collection of five letters written by five of America’s most famous and consequential presidents. Along with Washington, Adams, and Jefferson, are letters written by Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
