250 Years of History CSL&OH.A.

Historic items have a way of falling into my lap. I recently acquired this belt buckle that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the United States. I was alive to see it and remember it well.  
                                                    
    
    250 Years of American History
From the foundational 1620 Mayflower compact to Settlement of the vast American west. Our story is as sweeping as the Great Plains west of the Missouri River. Settlement of the west, the civil war, the railroads and great names such as Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Jedediah Smith, William T Sherman, U.S. Grant, Robert E Lee, George Armstrong Custer, Lewis and Clark, John C. Fremont, Black Hawk and Sitting Bull, are all part of that landscape. Over the next twelve months the CSL&OH.A. will be creating articles dedicated to that legacy.
