The main items I were after in the purchase were these great ribbons commemorating President Taft’s visit to Edgemont in October of 1911: And if you’re interested in more about the trip, From the Pierre Weekly Press (26 Oct 1911): And more recently, from the Rapid City Journal: In October 1911, Taft made a three-day visit through South Dakota. It was the homeward leg of a swing through the western United States.
