Sinopse

Unusual Auction Items explores the intriguing intersection of finance, history, and human fascination by examining sales where ordinary objects command extraordinary prices. Delving into the auction market, the book reveals how historical significance, rarity, and market forces combine to inflate the value of collectibles. For instance, a celebrity's dress or a rare book edition can fetch exorbitant sums, far surpassing their intrinsic worth. It examines the historical context that has allowed auction houses to become not just marketplaces, but influential arbiters of value, shaping tastes and driving cultural trends.

The book progresses logically, beginning with the fundamental principles of auction theory and valuation. It then explores case studies of historical artifacts, everyday objects transformed by unique circumstances, and artistic creations, each demonstrating major points of value. The book emphasizes the democratization of value, as it is not just high-end art or antiques that are covered, but how common items can become coveted treasures.

Finally, Unusual Auction Items synthesizes these case studies, providing a framework for understanding how historical significance, rarity, market forces, and emotional investment combine to create exceptional prices. This unique approach provides practical applications for collectors and investors, offering insights into assessing the potential value of collections and understanding the cultural trends driving the auction market.

German Americans in the Civil...

Editors Charles River

Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take four years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the military and political history of the conflict ever since.
Immigration to what is now the United States began long before the country was independent. That early immigration included tens of thousands of Germans, many of them religious dissidents like the Dunkards, Amish and Mennonites, who settled particularly in Pennsylvania and in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. However, the steady migration became a flood, with a half million German immigrants coming between 1840 and 1850, and almost a million more between 1850 and 1860.
The more recent immigrants tended to settle in cities like New York City, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Chicago. More than 90% of them settled in states that would remain in the Union, and only a relatively small number settled in what became the Confederacy. Still, there were significant populations of German-born immigrants in the Southern cities of Charleston, Richmond, Wheeling and most notably, New Orleans.
In terms of the Civil War, the most important of the German immigrants were the Forty-Eighters, perhaps 5,000 who had been involved in the Europe-wide revolutions of 1848. Their nickname “Forty-Eighters” refers to the year 1848, when revolutions broke out across Europe. The revolutions in the various German states sought to unify Germany into one nation, topple the old aristocratic structure and turn society toward democracy and socialism.
