America‘s History Should Not Be ’Hidden Behind Glass’: Beck Unveils Priceless American Artifacts Including Honest Abe’s Desk

Cicero once said that “history is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illuminates reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life, and brings us tidings of antiquity.” Yet in today’s day and age, a growing contingent are losing sight of our nation’s past and its meaningful artifacts. Often, people feel they can only catch these rare glimpses of history at a museum, where a letter from Honest Abe, or the helmet a five-star general wore on D-Day, are ensconced behind glass.

If you were to ask Glenn Beck, he’d say that American history should be attainable — that it belongs to you, Americans, to hold in your hands and to learn from. Few are more informed or enthusiastic about America’s rich past than Beck. In fact, many of his programs feature historical themes intended to educate and inform viewers.

Many of the items featured during Restoring Love, and again on Monday evening’s episode of the Glenn Beck Program were borrowed from private collections. Beck said that each of these priceless pieces of American culture and heritage represents a “sign post” along our country’s path. Below is a review of these magnificent, one of a kind artifacts.

Americas History Should Not Be Hid Behind Glass: Beck Unveils Priceless American Artifacts

Arnold Friburg’s painting of George Washington praying at Valley Forge: Best known for his 1975 painting “The Prayer at Valley Forge,“ few know that an earlier ”color study” version of this profound painting exists. Beck, who purchased this color study copy, which will ultimately be donated, ”is going to be the basis of something we are kicking off in 2014 — something amazing,” Beck revealed.

He said he wants to ensure that our nation’s historic pieces are not lost, but are preserved to teach Americans for generations to come.

Gettysburg Log: Another interesting artifact is a log procured from Gettysburg and that harbors two small cannonballs.  This was featured along with a wooden beam that was used underneath an operating table for soldiers during the Civil War. Beck observed that upon it was spilled with the blood of great, brave men.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s helmet: Worn on D-Day, Beck said that items such as this, which encapsulate so much history do not belong under glass. “The helmet tells us that somebody fought for somebody else’s freedom,” he began.

“It’s not enough to fight for our [own]. Freedom belongs to all mankind and there has to be a country that will stand up” not only for our freedom but for the freedom of other countries as well.

“All of these things teach us something,” Beck added before showing the audience that etched on Eisenhower’s helmet is what appears to be a Star of David. Beck promised that his researches will do their best to find out the meaning and origin of the star.

Babe Ruth’s traveling luggage: Beck said just to hold the handles of what Ruth carried is remarkable in and of itself.

Americas History Should Not Be Hid Behind Glass: Beck Unveils Priceless American Artifacts

Abraham Lincoln’s desk and chair from the IL State House:  So priceless that it is uninsurable, President Abraham Lincoln’s desk and armchair from the Illinois State Senate are, according to Beck, “truly stunning.” It is adorned with acorns, leaves and shields and was where the man who many believe was our nation’s greatest president conducted his day to day affairs. Beck showcased where Honest Abe placed his pen and even recited a precious letter Lincoln himself penned on the matter of slavery. That contents of that letter is featured below.

If A. can prove, however conclusively, that he may, of right, enslave B. — why may not B. snatch the same argument, and prove equally, that he may enslave A?–

You say A. is white, and B. is black. It is color, then; the lighter, having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a fairer skin than your own.

You do not mean color exactly?–You mean the whites are intellectually the superiors of the blacks, and, therefore have the right to enslave them? Take care again. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with an intellect superior to your own.

The manifesto of John Wilkes Booth:  In a kind of painful irony, after marveling at the profundity of our nation’s great president, Beck then revealed “a crazy man’s writing.” Page upon page of frantic scribblings and strike-throughs, it is apparent even at first glance that the man who assassinated Lincoln was deranged. Below is an excerpt that Beck recited — an excerpt that eerily mirrors the sentiments of today’s Occupy Wall Street contingent.

For God be my witness, I love peace…but there is a time when men should act for themselves…it is a time for us to throw off all gentler feelings of our natures and summon resolution, pride, justice. Ay, and revenge.

“Nuts,” Beck observed of the killer.

Declaration of Independence acid etching: This acid sketching of the Declaration of Independence is actually more vibrant than the original housed in the National Archives. Ironically, it was the process of making the copy that faded the original in the first place. Beck featured this beautiful rendition during Restoring Love.

Honus Wagner baseball card: While the condition of this rare baseball card of the Major League shortstop affectionately dubbed “The Flying Dutchman” may be poor, it is valued at over $2 million. What is perhaps most profound about the card, however, was not the image of Honus Wagner, but rather the advertisement for Sweet Caporal Cigarettes etched on its flip-side.

“Back in the day everybody smoked or chewed tobacco,” Beck observed. But not Honus Wagner. Smoking went against the baseball legend’s faith and convictions. As a result, he asked that his name be removed from the card and that which he opposed. The move caused tremendous conflict at the time, but Wagner held true to his convictions.

The point, according to Beck, is that the card teaches us that there is value in standing for what you believe in. “We have to learn from history…it really, truly screams at us and it teaches us something.”

Americas History Should Not Be Hid Behind Glass: Beck Unveils Priceless American Artifacts

President Ronald Reagan’s letter to his daughter, Patti: Written in 1991 during a time when Reagan and his daughter were estranged, this poignant letter opens with: “Dear Patti — it was good to hear from you.”

“I think this is the most beautiful card I’ve ever read,” observed an emotional Beck, who added that what makes the letter so significant is the fact that its contents articulate something “we can all relate to.” We, as a country, are also “like this,” he added.  Below is the transcript:

Dear Patti

It was good to hear from you. As the song goes – ‘the days dwindle down to a precious few.’ In view of my recent birthday I find the song appropriate. Patti I think a talk between us is the answer to some of our differences. There are extremists on both sides of every issue. Reasonable people should look into both sides and see if every charge or countercharge is justified by the facts. Even if there are differences does this justify a family separation? We can disagree on things without abandoning our family relationship. I remember a little girl who sat on my lap and asked me to marry her. Love – Dad.”

While Patti Davis would later go on to speak with her father, and mourn his passing deeply, Beck noted that she “sold this letter for drug money.”

“Share this with your neighbors who might disagree with you,” he urged. “We are not extremists and we are a family as a nation. We have to come together on the things that do unite us.”

    Abe Lincoln blundered his way through the civil war. After four years of trial and error with many, many different generals President Lincoln finally found one that won the war for him, General Grant. He made one mistake after another in picking good leaders to bring the Union to victory.

    This begs the question: was Lincoln a good leader?

    Isn’t good leadership the hallmark of a great president?

    Last word – In my humble view Lincoln was not our greatest president as Glenn Beck claims. The war claimed many more lives than it should have because of President Lincolns sub-par leadership.

    I am very disappointed with Glenn Beck and the Blaze. That helmet was not worn by Eisenhower on DDay. I know this because there are 5 stars on the helmet, and Eisenhower wasn’t awarded the fifth star until December 1944, months after June 6th. So what led Beck to believe this helmet was used on DDay? Is it even Eisenhowers helmet?

    Furthermore, I can find zero evidence indicating Patti Davis was even using drugs in 1991, let alone sold that letter for the purpose of buying them. And yet this is asserted in the Blaze article.

    Isn’t the slogan of the Blaze “the truth lives here?” I visit this site everyday, and love listening to Beck, but if you can’t get simple, apolitical things right, then how can I trust you all to deliver me the truth on the more complicated matters?

      Excellent point. If I could write-in sound effects it would be the sound of the needle sliding across the grooves of the record in my mind. Usually anomalies like that jump out and scream at me. (Like Will Smith’s first scene in uniform in “Independence Day” where his epaulet is on top of his collar.) I can’t remember EVER seeing a picture of Eisenhower wearing a helmet anywhere. In fact, as far as I know, Eisenhower remained in England on D-Day while Bradley commanded the troops on the ground. But even he didn’t get his 5th star until later.

      Gentlemen, I will assume your not trolls but I‘d be wrong wouldn’t I. Might I point out that 5 stars on that particular helmet does not mean he did not ware that on 6th June 1944. If, I and I mean if it is true that Eisenhower was not awarded the 5th star until December, don‘t you think it’s probably the same helmet with A 5TH STAR ADDED. Did you think this through MMcDonald628? I don’t think you did.

Either way no need for an entirely new helmet. And I have seen pix of him wearing a pot, maybe not with the ring of stars but a pot regardless.

      @chalkdust, superman, etc.

      Your condescending remarks aside, I am not wrong about this. 4 stars go in a straight line. They would’ve had to rearrange them to add the fifth one. Furthermore, because I actually did 5 minutes of research, I know what that the four star helmet was given away after Eisenhower received his 5th star.

      http://www.paulfrasercollectibles.com/News/MEDALS-%26-MILITARIA/2010-News-Archive/General-Eisenhower's-helmet-heads-militaria-auction/3198.page

      So unless Glenn bought this helmet, made it look newer, added a star and rearranged them, and the only person to see a star of David during this whole process was the prop guy, then I suppose Glenn was completely accurate.

      I never said Patti Davis did not do drugs; but she was clean by 1991. She claims to have been a drug addict in her teens through her late twenties. She was in her late thirties in 1991. I see no evidence that she sold that letter for drugs. This is not meant to excuse her behavior; why did Glenn need to say that part about drugs?

      I do agree with MMCDONALD628 that Eisenhower most likely did not wear that helmet on D-Day. As shown in the picture linked below, he did speak with paratroopers that day, wearing his officers cap.

      http://www.americaslibrary.gov/aa/eisenhower/aa_eisenhower_dday_2_e.html

      I can find no photo of him wearing a helmet that day. And I don’t know why he would either, as he was in Allied HQ in England with other generals such as Montgomery.
      A good account of how Eisenhower spent that day can be found here:
      http://www.worldwar2history.info/D-Day/Eisenhower.html

      I urge those on this site to purchase, or borrow from your local library, “D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II” by Stephen E. Ambrose.

      While we’re on the subject of books, might I suggest Patti Davis’ “The Long Goodbye”, in which she tells of the last years of her father’s life, and how she helped take care of him during that difficult time. I find Beck’s “She sold this note for drug money” statement highly suspect. I believe he should publicly correct his comment that “she never saw him again’,(insinuating abandonment) rather than quietly “correcting” it at the bottom of this article.

      Again Beck’s “researchers” have let him down. Whether it is out of ignorance, or to serve his own purpose, twisting history to fit your own narrative is a crime. Isn’t that what he accuses “the left/progressives” of doing?

      He is right. Ike did not wear that helmet on D-day….First off Eisenhower was in England on June 6th 1944 at the SHAEF HQ. He was no were near the Normandy Beach Head and would not be wearing a helmet.. Secondly there is not one single photograph of Eisenhower in Normandy even Wearing a helmet (every photo of Ike after he did go to the Normandy area from June 7th. on he is not wearing a helmet). Also that is only the helmet liner to the steel shell and it is a early Hawley Fiber Liner that were only made in 1941 and early 1942. These liners are extremely fragile because they are nothing more that compressed paper. One of the very few photos of Ike even wearing a helmet was taken in 1943 in North Africa just after he was promoted to 4 star general and the helmet he in wearing in that pic is a plain M-1 helmet with no stars and with the more common High Pressure liner that replaced the Hawley Liner in 42. So in short who ever told Beck that helmet was worn by Ike on D-day was wrong and unless you can produce a picture that I know does not exists of him wearing a M-1 helmet with a Hawley M-1 helmet liner on or during anytime of the Normandy Campaign then it is a total fabrication…..

      My sister works at the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, KS and said she had been receiving a lot of calls on the Eisenhower Helmet. I am a retired Army Officer and the details of military equipment come naturally to my eye. I’m not going to doubt that this item belonged to Eisenhower, but it could not have been worn on D-Day. D-Day occurred on 6 Jun 1944. Eisenhower was not promoted to a 5-star general until 20 December 1944. Also, this appears to be a helmet liner. Helmet liners were either worn under the steel helmet or were sometimes worn alone because they were lighter in weight. I would have imagine the certificate of authenticity would clarify the date that this was issued to General Eisenhower. It appears that General Eisenhower was not a big wearer of helmets during WWII and there are few pictures of him. I wonder if Glenn got a picture of the General wearing this item?

And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the ***** should be denied everything. I do not understand that because I do not want a ***** woman for a slave I must necessarily want her for a wife. My understanding is that I can just let her alone.”

    I challenge anyone who considers themselves a “conservative” to dig up some real, true history of the man and come back and tell me he was America’s “greatest” president. On the contrary, he was the worst. Without him, would be no Wilson or FDR or LBJ or yes, Obama. Lincoln set the table for these men and poured the foundation of the Federal Leviathan Government we have now that allegedly Beck and most posters here despise.

    Seriously, as much as Beck purports to teach history he COMPLETELY IGNORES 1860 – 1880. So, if you believe as Beck does that the progressives have hijacked our history EXCEPT, mind you, 1860 – 1880 then continue on in la-la land believing ol’ Abe cared one whit about black folks. But if you believe as Beck says, “don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself,” then go see for yourself. Its what I did. You may just come away with a very different opinion of the 16th president than what you have now.

      If you are referring to the absence of Constitutional authority to forcibly bring the seceded States back into the Union, there really is no defense to present.
      I have often pondered that myself, along with the synchronicity of Lincoln’s death at the end of the Civil War.
      What I have decided is that the same Providence that allowed a ragtag colonial army to prevail against the preeminent Super Power of the 18th Century, also determined that the world was going to need a united America in the not too distant future.
      So ironically, from a purely Constitutional perspective you are correct.
      But I believe that the world would be a worse place and America would not have become the country it ultimately became in the 20th Century if Lincoln had allowed the Confederacy to stand.

      4Bluestars,

      I don’t think it was Divine Providence that led to the deaths of 600,000+ Americans. If so why did God allow every other Western nation which practiced slavery to abolish it without one shot fired? I truly believe that in lieu of a “Civil War” the seceding States would have eventually relented and rejoined the Union. Technology was fast replacing slave labor anyway.

      No, Lincoln was no “Godly” man (except when it suited him). He was a career politician and the Republican Party he helped establish was born from the Whig Party. Look them up. Tell me what their platform (and the platform of the early Rs) sounds like today? Lincoln married into a slave-holding family from Kentucky. Lincoln opposed the expansion of slavery NOT because he abhorred slavery, but because he wanted to keep the Western Territories lily White. Look it up. Read his words. Further, Lincoln opposed “secession” except, well, when he carved West Virginia out of Virginia.

      Secession is and was and (hopefully) will always be a uniquely American tradition and the last line of defense against a tyrannical central government.

      Lincoln was a tyrant and probably the first real Constitution-destroyer this country had as president. He poured the foundation for the FDRs and Wilsons and Obamas to come along and follow in his footsteps.

      So in that sense we agree—without Lincoln, this country sure as hell would not be in the situation it finds itself in today.

I like GB, but he is pro-Lincoln and anti confederate, yet he is ok with the Alamo and Travis drawing a line in the sand. Texas fought Mexico to be free of a dictator and preserve the Texas way of life… which did include slavery. Kind of sounds like what the sons of the defenders of the Alamo were fighting for also..

      The historian in me is horrified. I am certainly appreciative of the gifts than Mr. Beck is giving to all Americans, but for God’s sake, keeping it behind glass is what protects these artifacts. I hope this article is being figurative, and that these historical artifacts are protected from deterioration from handling. Soiling the helmet of Eisenhower, quite possibly our greatest president, with sweat and oil by holding it is a tragedy.

      And as an aside, comparing John Wilkes Booth with Occupy Wall Street? Seriously? One sought revenge for the destruction of his country, the other pitches tents in public parks and complains about “capitalism and the banks and stuff”. I am in no way defending Booth, but he was by no means a whimsical, short-sighted hippie. He was cunning, meticulous, and knew exactly what he intended to do. Traitor that he was, Booth was nothing like OW.
