Description

“This car was the car directly in front of the President’s car”

Two identical souvenir typescripts of Secret Service agent Winston G. Lawson’s experience during the assassination, each two pages, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in black ballpoint, “Win Lawson.” In part: “I was riding in an unmarked police car, which is termed the lead car…This car was the car directly in front of the President’s car. We were controlling the motorcade from this position depending upon the speed of the President’s car…It was about the time our car was arriving at this bridge when I heard the first shot. I believe I heard two more sharp reports…Almost immediately the President’s car leaped ahead. We also rapidly accelerated…I gave a radio signal that we would not stop at the Trade Mart. I also requested Chief Curry to contact the hospital for doctors, and stretchers.” In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
