ALFRED H. SATTERLEE'S AUCTION SALES

David F. Fanning writes: "Regarding Alfred H. Satterlee's book on 
the presidential medals, here is a little bit of information that 
may help Mr. Bell. Satterlee consigned to or was involved in at least 
four auction sales in 1862, all handled through Bangs, Merwin and 
Company: March 19, May 8-9, August 7 and December 16. The second 
included a good selection of presidential medals, and the last is 
the only catalogue Satterlee wrote, according to Gengerke. Attinelli 
intriguingly notes of Satterlee that 'his social disposition, it 
is deeply to be regretted, led him to an early grave' (p. 26)."
