Fins & Feathers Plantation will be heading to the online auction block and David Graham will be looking to see who will continue the endeavor he started.

Graham developed what was once a raw 1,240 acres of paper company land on the South Newport River into an exclusive hunting & fishing retreat. Working with Ronnie Chambers, Graham constructed a hunting lodge, luxury cabins, and an expansive operations center with boats, Jeeps, recreational vehicles, and kennels. Then they focused on habitat improvement, creating an environment where outdoor enthusiasts of all ages could pursue both deer & wildfowl hunting and red fish & tarpon sight fishing.

That value will be determined on auction day, as well as the value of three adjacent properties to Fins & Feathers Plantation. A home on Eagle Neck Air Strip and two parcels (136+ and 156+ acres) of timberland will be offered as separate tracts in individual online auctions.

On March 18th, 2010, PBA Galleries in San Francisco will offer selected books and manuscripts from The Library of Roger Wagner. The collection reflects Mr. Wagner’s keen interest in a wide range of literary arts, science, history, and human endeavor. The material ranges from the 15th through 20th centuries, and touches upon nearly every aspect of the progress of civilization.

One of the most important features of the auction is a section of manuscripts, letters and other material from the personal archives of Henry Miller. Bruce MacMakin, Senior Vice President at PBA Galleries, calls the 214-lot sale “one of the most significant we have held in many years. The concentration of high spots in so many fields makes it of interest to a broad range of collectors.”

The catalogue for the auction is posted online at www.pbagalleries.com Printed catalogues may be ordered at the site, or downloaded in PDF format. Full provisions are available for bidding absentee, live over the internet during the auction, or by telephone during the auction.
