Details:

M. Nick McDonald autographed 8 x 11 inch xerographic statement titled “The Arrest and Capture of Lee Harvey Oswald”, recounting in vivid first-person detail the events of November 22, 1963, inside the Texas Theatre. McDonald has signed prominently at the top of the document.

The multi-paragraph typed statement provides a gripping narrative of McDonald’s approach to the Texas Theatre, his coordination with other officers, and the tense moments leading up to his confrontation with Lee Harvey Oswald. McDonald describes the crowded conditions, the film screening (“Cry of Battle” and “War Is Hell”), his tactical decision to approach Oswald indirectly, and the critical seconds before making physical contact. The account offers rare insight into police decision-making under extreme pressure immediately following the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Fine condition.

M. Nick McDonald was the Dallas Police Department officer who confronted and arrested Lee Harvey Oswald inside the Texas Theater on November 22, 1963, just hours after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. McDonald’s actions during Oswald’s capture were photographed, filmed, and widely reported, securing his place as one of the most historically significant officers in the case.
