<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 1810794, member: 15488&quot;]i plan on doing a lot of reading during my hiatus. i picked up 3 books last week. one large tome on the life of teddy Roosevelt, another on th myan/incan culture and stephen ambrose&#039;s book undaunted courage about meriweather lewis and thomas jefferson. i am about halfway through the book on lewis. they finally reached the pacific and are preparing to head back. when i read the remark by clark</p><p>&quot;ocien in view&nbsp; o! the joy&quot;, i got to thinking about the 2004-2005 5 cent pieces. the book describes the construction and use of the keelboat in detail. several times lewis gave indian chiefs the jefferson medal with the &quot;hand shake&quot;, the bison is everywhere, and of course the ocean in view comment. reading this history really make one realize the importance of the exposition and makes the nickels special. the presence of sacagawea was tremendously&nbsp; helpful in their travels. read some history and your coins will mean more to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>please excuse the typing, one handed you know.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-one-armed-man.238184/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-one-armed-man.238184/">http://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-one-armed-man.238184/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
