Additional Details

Gray Gables was an estate on Buzzards Bay in Bourne, MA, at the point where Cape Cod joins the mainland. Grover Cleveland and his family spent their summers there from 1890 to 1908, including his second term as president from 1893 to 1896. The text of this charming memento includes a lyrical description of Buzzards Bay and several poems. One on OCLC (Peabody Essex Museum) plus another at the Library of Congress; none traced at auction. If you want something both rare and pretty relating to Grover Cleveland, this may be your best bet.
