1920年罗斯福纪念协会荣誉勋章 完未流通

1920 (1931) Roosevelt Memorial Association Medal of Honor. Gold. 81 mm. 374.8 grams. 18 karats. By James E. Fraser. Awarded to Hamlin Garland. Choice Mint State.Bust right of President Theodore Roosevelt, FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE above. The sculptors name and copyright date are in the left field, and Roosevelts vital dates, in Roman numerals, are at the lower right. The reverse features the Flaming Sword of Justice surrounded by the legends ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION at the top, IF I MUST CHOOSE / BETWEEN RIGHTEOVSNESS / AND PEACE I CHOOSE /RIGHTEOVSNESS across the sword in the center, and MEDAL OF HONOR at the bottom. The edge is lettered IN THE FIELD OF AMERICAN HISTORICAL LITERATURE - HAMLIN GARLAND and 18 KT.Hannibal Hamlin Garland (September 14, 1860 - March 4, 1940) was an American novelist, poet, essayist, and short story writer best known for his fiction involving hard-working Midwestern farmers. Most of his stories were based on his own experiences growing up on farms in Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota before moving to Boston, Massachusetts to pursue a writing career at the age of 24. His earliest successful work was Main-Traveled Roads (1891), followed quickly by Prairie Folks the following year. He is best remembered for his Middle Border series - A Son of the Middle Border (1917), A Daughter of the Middle Border (1921), Trail-Makers of the Middle Border (1926), and Back-Trailers from the Middle Border (1928). The second book in this series won the 1922 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.He continued to write prolifically, but after moving to Hollywood, California, in 1929, he devoted much of his time to researching psychic phenomena, an area he had been investigating since the 1890s. In his final book, The Mystery of the Buried Crosses (1939), he tried to defend such phenomena and prove the legitimacy of psychic mediums. Garland died in 1940, leaving a rich legacy of literature documenting the lives of hard-working farmers and small town characters. This medal was held by the Garland family since it was presented in 1931 until it was sold for $18,000 in a Bonhams auction in June 2018. It is housed in a two-sided antique 7 1/4 x 5 3/4 inch black and gilt frame with a loop for hanging. Rare, as it is one of just 136 awarded - and actually much rarer still, since only the earlier issues of this award were struck in gold. This specimen is quite lovely, with near flawless matte gold finish showing subtle color changes here and there that actually highlight the rugged portrait and slightly rippled fields, a unique medallic effect Fraser first put to good use on the Buffalo Nickel. Aside from being a significant artifact of an important American author, the medal is also truly impressive in its beauty, size, and sheer mass.
