Lot 29.  Seaport Autographs.  49 items. Catalogs 1, 5-22, 24-27, 29-35, 102, 105-117; and 120-124; 1976-1987, 2006-2011.  The first catalog is modestly titled “Autographs Spring-1976” and was issued by “N. F. Boas” from Wilton, Connecticut; the title changed with later catalogs, as did the location from Mystic to Stonington.  Boas is none other than Dr. Norman F. Boas (1923-2016), Fellow of The Manuscript Society.  With a medical degree from Harvard attained by the time he was 22, Boas was in public health service, including a stint with NIH, taught at Yale, and later was in private practice.  After retiring from medicine, he was heavily involved with historical projects in his area and, of course, acquiring and selling manuscripts.  His research and publishing interests included Abraham Lincoln, First Lady Jane Pierce, and the noted anthropologist Franz Boas, his grandfather.
