Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industrialists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history. In CONGRESS. 4. x77e.

CHAPTERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY The Stamp Act of 1765 was an attempt by England to tax items that were wholly American The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United States found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was heriocally held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem. Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built settlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often related to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. In 1848. James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, California. The lust to 'get rich quick was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever. Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available. While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery issue. Civil war broke out in the East. This Brothers War was bitterly fought and. though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace, often without regard to the limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began rebuilding and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of thecountry. I he Iron Horse. carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit. Utah, on May 10. 1869 Transportation was setting the pattern for the American way of life The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automobiles, farm machinery, and bicycles, all the rage Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism A World War called upon the nation's young men to unite and fight After the war in Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again. A carefree America buried war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines, phonographs and a wealth of inventions from the fertile minds of its young inventors. Baseball became the national sport and prohibition was law Black Thursday. October 24, 192 . saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed. The country was in its worst economic crisis. Slowly, but surely, the wounds of the crash. the dust bowl, and poverty healed. •v JK-KATIONI Mfc STAMP NO. 34 1 jK- ationi STAM, pa.

The seventies shed light on a new trouble for the nation as it approached its 200th birthday The world s energy sources and natural resources were being used up faster than they could be replenished Americans once again waded into a new frontier. The energy crisis and ecology were prominent words in the language Ways to save nature ftom the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the country. Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field Television became a part of every family’s life. National events were household topics — while they happened — thanks to the new medium Individuals and groups were seen on the tube as they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before. Audio-visual journalism had made its impact. •s r.RATION| STAMP NO. g Sc_i§_l aSMp RATION STAMP no. 47 Earth's crises spurred Americans into further pioneering. This time outer space. American astronauts were the first on the surface of the moon and the U.S. was first to build a sky-lab for more scientific study. The steel industry geared up for the revival while rumors were whispered in the Roosevelt administration of another impending war. The nation s leaders scoffed, until December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor industrial production reached a peak during the war years. Upon their return from four years of battle, the veterans forged ahead with an eye on a better life for everyone. Several moderate tecessions in the 50 s and 60s reminded cautious citizens of past decades. American is still learning and growing after a mere 200-year infancy The original determination of our forefathers was told again in the words of Neil Armstrong as he made the first step on the moon a small step for man, but a giant step for mankind ' D niH Boont I rads pionrm through thr Cumberland ( Carhf P'OSpcclOf panning lor gold ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY offer fob sale ONE MILLION ACRES OF SUPERIOR FAB MING LANDS, IN FARMS OK 40,80 160 acres and upwards at from $8 to $12 per acre TirKBK i,A.r r� H akr NOT SraP lSNEII BV A V I THU WORLD.

San Antonio Tens 1 Teas independence day March 2.1836) THE CHANGING NATION Ownership of land had been just a dream to most of the colonists from feudal England. With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and development of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in numbers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every nation as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again ' in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers. • f TTLPtPCK libertyJIor death DONT TREAD ON ME BENIAMIN FRANKLIN FLAG ALSO CALLED SERAPlS FLAG GENERALLY ACCEPTED AS ORIGINATED BY BENIAMIN FRANKLIN AT COURT OF LOUIS XVI CULPEPER FLAG - 1775 ONE Of THE EARLY RATTLESNAKE FLAGS CARRIED BY THE MINUTE M{ FIRST STARS ANO STRIPES UNITED EMBLEM OF INOEPENOENCE SAID TO HAVE BEEN ORIGINATED B GEORGE WASHINGTON FOLLOWING ACT OF CONGRESS Of JUNE 14.

K. JhW-j jU of rrp....� t. IrfS. , COTTON GIN ModH Without realizing it, England instilled in the colonists the individual purpose and ingenuity that necessity breeds. With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviving without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolutionary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation's most valuable citizen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far corners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phonograph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass-produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to fulfill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of discovery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of finding a way'' is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today's mechanized society.

Manofactaxed by PERRY DAVIS St BOV. ■«. 7« n«a rnunrr nomwet 11 Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for $1.25! Or. even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage settlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn't the most comfortable way to go. but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today s wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800 s. A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1826 was about 5C lh. in the Midwest, eggs, 3c doz.; corn oc bu.. wheat, 25c bu . and a cow could he bought for $5. With travel becoming the American tradition. you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and hoard included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your destination, you could sit down to a 5. or even 10 course meal for 25c (Ladies 20c. in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800's could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500. A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. Cookstoves. quality-satisfaction guaranteed, could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7.85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroller) for the sum of $12.04 If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in,one of the first automobiles. Ah, those were the days. Some of the current prices are reminiscent of those days, hut at frontier prices, which were a whole different story. Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper. Those items were only 15c per pound back in civilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and during the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel.
