Official Dallas police assassination documents from the estate of patrolman W.J. Harrison who witnessed and investigated the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. These include copies of the police reports, sketches and photograph of Oswald's shooting, along with mug shots of Oswald and Ruby. Also, two original Police photos, one showing the book depository building and the other a motorcade procession taken from the "grassy knoll" on "Monday morning after Nov. 22, 1963".
A reel to reel tape of an eye witness of the PT 109 disaster and heroic actions of JFK as told by a Lt. Commander who was on the accompanying PT boat and assisted in the rescue operations a week later. He was also hospitalized with Kennedy and lived in a tent with him for 3 months following their injuries. This was recorded at a military related speech and he points to some discrepancies in the movies and books, adding anecdotes from his discussions with JFK's men at the time of their rescue. Which shows an interesting insight into Kennedy's courage and personality during their R&R. We believe this is the only tape, since it was made in the 60's specifically by the request of Marta Duda, a collector and supporter of Kennedy, and is part of her large and extensive collection. We have made a cd version of the tape to accompany it with the original.
