Manuscripts
These 57 printed letters chronicle the daily experiences of the group of 36 reenactors who traveled from Ipswich, Massachusetts, to Marietta, Ohio, by ox-driven Conestoga wagons and a self-made flatboat in 1937 to 1938 to mark the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Northwest Territory. They are addressed to Mrs. L. H. Kremer of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who was a subscriber. The letters contain an illustration ink stamp and an illustration by party member Milo Scott; the illustrations depict scenes of the journey and pioneer life. Each letter was folded, addressed, and sealed with wax in the style of 18th century post.
