Oliver R. Barrett was a lawyer, author, and prolific collector of Abraham Lincoln artifacts. ==Biography== Born in 1873, Barrett became interested in collecting autographs, artifacts, and letters from celebrities. He eventually received his law degree from University of Michigan and fought in the Spanish–American War. Barrett continued his career as a lawyer in Kenilworth, Illinois, and developed an obsession with building his Abraham Lincoln collection. This collection earned him fame among Lincoln scholars and researchers, most notably Carl Sandburg, who also became a client of his law practice. With Sandburg’s help, Barrett wrote a book entitled ''Lincoln's Last Speech in Springfield in the Campaign of 1858'' in 1924. Sandburg also wrote a book about Barrett's collection, ''Lincoln Collector: The Story of the Oliver R. Barrett Lincoln Collection'', published 1949. Oliver R. Barrett died in 1950.
