His catalogs of historical documents and autographs are always loaded with fine, genuine and well described items.

"I first made the acquaintance of Len Rosa at a Civil War show in the 1970's, and immediately realized that this young man was very different than most of the newcomers I encountered in our community. Quiet, polite and observant, he soaked up knowledge like a sponge, and was never condescending to anyone he met. His passion to learn as much about American history as he could was quite apparent right from the beginning, and when he decided to pursue this as his career he did so for the right reasons; to share his love and knowledge of our country, and its diversified history, and help to teach others who were like minded. True to his ideals, Len always put his pursuit for true American history above all else. To this day he remains that same purveyor of knowledge, and he has truly earned his nickname, the "Caretaker of American History!" His website continues to be one of the most informative sources about Civil War history on the internet. Go peruse his site, you won't be disappointed." T.W.A.B.
