ALEXANDER'S CHAPMAN ARTICLE

  David T. Alexander has a nice article on the Chapman
  Brothers in the March 2002 issue of COINage magazine.
  Writing first of Philadelphia coin dealer Capt. John
  Haseltine, Alexander writes: "Amid a long and event-
  filled career, few of Haseltine's acts had the long-range
  effect of his hiring of two youthful trainees, Samuel
  Hudson Chapman and Henry Chapman in 1876.   ...
  The brothers left Haseltine during 1878 to launch their
  own business ..."

  "...they wasted little time in reaching their highest goals
  and within three years scored an amazing coup, obtaining
  the Charles ira Bushnell collection for auction on June
  20, 1882."
