Rosemary McKittrick is a storyteller. She tracks auctions worldwide and brings you stories behind things that sell. Her stories are about people who've inspired, entertained, led or scorned their way through history and the objects that touched their lives.Stories are an important link to the past.
It could be Harry Houdini, Bob Dylan, Truman Capote, Amelia Earhart, Babe Ruth or William Randolph Hearst. Rosemary tells their stories through the handcuffs they've owned, books they've written, songs they've sung, planes they've flown, empires they've built and homeruns they've hit—all of which sold on the block.
Their stories open a window to the past. Rosemary takes a deeper cut on their lives in her weekly column.
You'll find a collection of 850+ archived columns on this site that appeared in publications worldwide over the last 22 years.
