Six decades later, the American War in Vietnam remains a controversial and influential event. Stuart has been collecting the conflict for a quarter century now, building one of the most important archives in private hands. He owns letters by the great leaders of the war (Ho Chi Minh, Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon); the American serviceman and servicewoman (diaries, letters home, photo albums) and the pro-war and anti-war movements (posters, bumper stickers, leaflets). Stuart will select about ten manuscripts from his collection and show how they illuminate the war and what they can teach us today.
Stuart Lutz has been in the historic document and manuscript field for over thirty years. During that time, he has sold the autographs and letters of all the Presidents, prominent Civil War and Revolutionary War figures, and Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Plus he has sold items from famous authors, well-known businessmen, important aviators and scientists, distinguished African-Americans and notable women. He also specializes in correspondence with outstanding content penned by ordinary people. These include a letter written from the Oregon Trail, Civil War battle letters written by soldiers, or a letter written from Honolulu after Pearl Harbor.
Stuart is a member of the Professional Autograph Dealers Association, the Manuscript Society, the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America, and the Ephemera Society. He is a Certified Member of the Appraisers Association of America, qualified in Historic Documents. He was the subject of a Time magazine article on his appraisal of their extensive archives.
