Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858to open a bookstore. At first he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early US autographs. Discoveringhis ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin andwriting them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England andCanada for sale and circulation.Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can’t approach a respectable buyer but must deal withpeople who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example,they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented arespectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For severalyears Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to herfamous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity, which did not prevent Spring fromdying in poverty, left sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.
