The Tilghman Collection contained more then what is seen in this video. Some years back the grouping was put up for auction and split up.

There is a museum and his home in Paducah, Ky to Tilghman, markers too also are there to explain his life. I used to go by it all of the time. I guess it is still there, as Paducah declined in antique stories, and I went there less. I always wanted to stop, I just never did. His life is an interesting read. I would like to know more about him. The one book was published in Morley, Mo. I didn't even know they published books there. I bet they try to change the name of the high school in Paducah. Why was he buried in the Bronx.
