Carried by Ox caravan





One of my recent acquisitions is this 1937 souvenir cover from the N.W.T. Celebration Commission, which was carried by ox cart caravan, reproducing the trek of the pioneers to the Northwest Territory in 1787. It was postmarked at Ipswich, Massachusetts on December 8, 1937, and at Marietta, Ohio, on April 7, 1839. Illustration by Wm. Mark Young.
