Sagamore is honored to host an exhibit of historic, rare books that contributed to the shaping of the American idea through the ages. From a first edition of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense to The Federalist (1788) to the works of Thomas Hobbes, Machiavelli and St. Augustine, this exhibit from the Remnant Trust brings history to life through the pages of original, first edition and rare manuscripts.
The Remnant Trust is a public educational foundation that shares an actively growing collection of manuscripts, 1st edition and early works dealing with the topics of individual liberty and human dignity with some pieces dating as early as 3000 B.C. The Trust makes this collection available to colleges, universities and other organizations for use by students, faculty, scholars and the general public. Those exposed are encouraged to touch, feel and read the originals, including first English translations.
