A collection of Abraham Lincoln memorabilia that includes a lock of the slain¹ president's hair has been sold for more than $800,000 at auction² Saturday in Dallas.

美国前总统亚伯拉罕·林肯的一批遗物于1月24日在美国达拉斯拍卖，并以超过80万美元（约合人民币500万元）的价格成交。遗物包括林肯遇刺后剪下的一缕头发。

The Donald P. Dow collection brought top bids totaling $803,889, doubling expectations, said Eric Bradley, spokesman for Dallas-based Heritage Auctions³.

美国达拉斯传统拍卖行（Heritage Auctions）的发言人埃里克·布拉德利（Eric Bradley）表示，此次拍卖的遗物都是收藏家唐纳德·道（Donald P. Dow）的私人藏品，总计成交价为803889美元，是预期成交价的两倍。

Greg Dow said his father, who died five years ago, was fascinated with presidential assassinations⁴.

唐纳德·道于五年前去世。他的儿子格雷格（Greg）称，父亲生前对总统暗杀事件特别感兴趣。

The lock of hair, taken by Surgeon General Joseph K. Barnes shortly after Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth, sold for $25,000.

林肯的那一缕头发是在他遇刺后不久由外科医生约瑟夫·巴恩斯（Joseph Barnes）剪下的，成交价是2.5万美元（约合人民币16万元）。

An 1861 letter written by Booth to a friend boasting about his career and value as an actor sold for $30,000.

同时拍卖的还有刺杀林肯的凶手布思（John Wilkes Booth）于1861年写给朋友的一封信。在信中，他吹嘘了自己的职业以及作为演员的价值。这封信最终以3万美元（约合人民币19万元）成交。

"The public was so disgusted by Booth's atrocity⁶ that most all letters, signatures and documents mentioning him were destroyed after Lincoln's death, making any that survive 150 years later exceedingly rare and valuable," said Don Ackerman, Consignment⁷ Director for Historical Americana at Heritage Auctions. "The Dow Collection gave us a unique perspective of the assassination⁵ and I doubt we'll ever see a grouping like this outside of a museum setting."

“林肯遇刺后，美国民众对布思的暴行深恶痛绝，绝大多数提到他的信件、签名和文件均遭销毁，以至任何能保存150年的文本都显得极为罕见和弥足珍贵。”传统拍卖行美国史料托管主任唐·阿克曼（Don Ackerman）说道，“唐纳德·道的藏品从一个独特的视角来还原这次暗杀事件，这可能是我们在博物馆之外看到的最完整的一套私人藏品。”
