The photos are wonderful! Hope you'll enjoy seeing Lewis & Clark, additional photos of York, Touissant Charbonneau, Sacagawea and Jean-Baptiste.<br /><br />Here is the <a href="http://openrange.freeforums.org/corps-of-discovery-maybe-the-first-in-the-west-t1845.html" rel="nofollow">link</a> and the URL: http://openrange.freeforums.org/corps-of-discovery-maybe-the-first-in-the-west-t1845.html<br /><br />I also learned that York's original retail was $59. I only paid $16.99 for York.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-52769944735730685432014-04-10T09:00:32.891-05:002014-04-10T09:00:32.891-05:00I love seeing historical figures like this - they&...I love seeing historical figures like this - they're usually such interesting conversation pieces.
