Amongst the voluminous amount of philatelic material I have what appears to be a complete set of letters that seem to chronicle the route of the North West Expansion b means of a re-creation. Apparent; my Great Grandfather Williams went on this little expedition. I'm unsure of the exact origin of these but I believe, at least in part, that I'm on the right path! (pun intended)

"The Northwest Territory Celebration letters chronicle the daily experiences of a group of re-enactors who traveled from Ipswich, Massachusetts, to Marietta, Ohio, by ox-driven Conestoga wagon and self-made flatboat in 1937-1938 to mark the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Northwest Territory."

I'd post more but I'm just too worn out today. I posted these because it's something most people never get to see in hand or up close so I thought you may appreciate them?

Henry Button and Marion V. Button was my Great-Grandfather on my step-dad's side.
