Bob Zeller, President, The Center for Civil War Photography. Mr. Zeller is also the author of several excellent books on Civil War Photography.

We consider Len not only a fellow colleague but a very good friend as well. Brian & Maria Green, Inc., Kernersville, N.C.

"I have know Len Rosa for over 35 years, during which time I have been a customer and occasional supplier for him. I have always found him to be knowledgeable, forthright and honest in all of his dealings, both in the early days when he was living in Gettysburg, and now that he is living in Florida. His catalogs of historical documents and autographs are always loaded with fine, genuine and well described items. While there are plenty of "dealers" these days one should be wary of, Len is not one of those. His offerings are always well described and as stated, and I have found them to be fairly priced. I enjoy my business relationship with Len and look forward to many more years of honest transactions. Barry A. Smith, Greensboro, N.C. Member of the Professional Autograph Dealers Association, and The Manuscript Society."

Enjoy your visit to the War Between the States where true American history proudly lives forever, the history of a Republic that is worth preserving!

May our brave American soldiers, and their families, men and women alike, of all colors and creeds, from yesteryear to today, be forever blessed for earning us the freedom and liberty we now enjoy which was garnered with the sacrifice of their blood, sweat and tears! The greatest casualty is being forgotten! Please remember these noble patriots, these true heroes, not only on the veteran's holidays, but on every day of the year! If you see a Veteran, reach out and say thank you for your service. We owe much to them, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice!

"...that these dead shall not have died in vain- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." These immortal words were spoken by President Abraham Lincoln, on November 19, 1863, at the dedication ceremonies of the Gettysburg National Soldier's Cemetery.

"With malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." These famous words were spoken by President Abraham Lincoln, on March 4, 1865, upon the occasion of his Second Inaugural Address, at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Ironically President Lincoln would be assassinated 41 days later after having taken the oath of office for his 2nd term as the 16th President of the United States. These words are enshrined on the north interior wall of the Lincoln Memorial, at Washington, D.C.

"Sad will be the day when the American people forget their traditions and their history, and no longer remember that the country they love, the institutions they cherish, and the freedom they hope to preserve, were born from the throes of armed resistance to tyranny, and nursed in the rugged arms of fearless men." Quote from Roger Sherman, Founding Father from the State of Connecticut, and signer of the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. He is the only person to sign all four of the great founding documents of the United States of America.
