Our nation has always encouraged the spread of knowledge and one of the ways it has made a commitment to this ideal is by creating the National Archives to keep our country’s most important and historically relevant documents. Whether you would like to see original documents dating back from the Revolutionary War, important letters written by presidents or documents created by ordinary folks during important historical periods such as the Civil War, the National Archive is the place to visit.
In its quest to ensure that its documents enrich American’s lives, the public is invited to view practically all of its archives. Unfortunately, being so vast and encompassing, sometimes this access can lead to vandalism and theft of valuable documents. One incredible incident written about in Smithsonian Magazine includes extremely valuable letters, a Civil War enthusiast and Ebay. If you love mystery, intrigue and priceless National Archive historical documents, this real life crime caper should not be missed.
The mystery in question takes place when a Civil War enthusiast finds priceless letters for sale available on Ebay, however after careful research, the letters should not be in the hands of a private collector, but the National Archive.
