28338. (newspaper) B.H.A. Collins Appointed Keeper, Nauset Light House, Eastham, Cape Cod. New York Daily Tribune. August 11, 1843. Short 1” column notes that “Mr. B.H.A. Collins, of Eastham, Mass. who was elected to the last Legislature out of charity for his lameness and poverty by the Whigs of his town, and sold out his party to the Loco Pocos, giving them the control of the State Government, has just been appointed by John Tyler Keeper of Light House on Cape Cod; This appointment reflects equal credit on Collins and Tyler.” Keeper B. H. A. Collins served at Nauset (Three Sisters) Lighthouse from 1843-1849, when the political party in office changed, and again from 1853-1861. Interesting note on the politics of the time and important Cape Cod lighthouse item. Full newspaper contains 4 large pages with interesting early articles of the day, only light occasional foxing, expected wear. (VG). $36. (photo image not included)
