Item Description
1.25" w/union bug on curl at 3 o'clock. Geraghty & Co. "Brownsville" refers to 1906 Texas event in which black soldiers of the 25th United States Infantry were accused of rioting and subsequently court martialed. In the forefront of those seeking redress was Senator Foraker, a nemesis of Teddy Roosevelt and an aspiring 1908 presidential hopeful. While the 1908 nomination went to Taft, Foraker managed to keep the issue in public attention over the next several years. Some faint spotting barely seen along the outer edges of the red border. Extremely Fine.
