ANTIQUE DRUM - WHAT IS LAWSONONOMY? A TRUE PART OF AMERICAN HISTORY - $650 - (Cumming, GA)

I HAVE OWNED THIS DRUM FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER KNEW WHAT I HAD OR WHAT IT REPRESENTED. ITS HISTORY AND THE MAN BEHIND IT IS QUITE UNBELIVEABLE. STRANGELY, I HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING IN THE HISTORY BOOKS ABOUT HIM AND ALL HE HAS DONE. HIS NAME WAS ALFRED LAWSON (MARCH 24, 1869 - NOVEMBER 29, 1954), BORN IN LONDON, ENGLAND AND DIED IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
