(1928 - 2005) Dallas police officer, arrested Lee Harvey Oswald shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Was later assigned to the Secret Service detail protection Marina Oswald. Great collection of three signatures on two documents, includes: Good-content manuscript, 2pp. 4to., [n.p., n.d], containing the officer's dramatic recollection of his arrest of Oswald, including his dramatic fight with the suspect, in part: "The impact from his fist knocked my head back, momentarily catching me off balance and sent my police cap flying across the seats...I felt him pulling a pistol from underneath his shirt...brought the pistol up to my chest, I grabbed for it with my left hand and grasped his pistol over the cylinder and hammer...the miracle of my strength retarded the action of the cylinder...I was not shot..." More interesting content. McDonald signs in black ink on both the first and second pages, adding "Captor of Oswald - 11-23-63" on the second. Negligible ink mark toward the bottom of the first page, staple hole to the top-left of the second page, both mentioned only for accuracy, else fine condition. WITH: Signed personal business card, which includes an image of the officer in uniform holding Oswald's pistol and the printed text "'Captor of Lee H. Oswald'�Alleged Assassin of President John F. Kennedy". McDonald signs at the top-right, adding the inscription "Oswald's Pistol" beneath his image. Insignificant shadowing of the printed text, else very fine. Sold with reprinted copies of Oswald's mugshot, arrest report, and fingerprint card. Five pieces.
