I have visited the Christian Sanderson Museum near the Brandywine River
Museum in southeastern Pennsylvania. The collection is in his home and
consists of all the odd bits of memorabilia that this man "collected"
during his life. It is a wonderful time capsule view of the values of
an ordinary, if eccentric, person. He was an avid vadalizer of everthing
from "Lucky" Lindy's plane to a splinter from Lincoln's chair at the Ford
theater. All these relics are piously enshrined in a very Americanized
cabinet de curiosites!
