Lewis & Clark St Louis Arch |

| The Western Expansion Museum has a fine collection of peace medals given to prominent chiefs, by Lewis & Clark. The medals came in various sizes - 4", 3"and 2 1/4". They consisted of struck sheet silver on a wood core. The larger ones went to the more important chiefs. All have disappeared partly because of the disintegration of the materials used. William Clark's portrait, top left. Meriwether Lewis's, bottom right. |
