his family's mausoleum


i would like to share these pictures of moro weapons displayed at the prestigious McKinley presidential library in canton, ohio taken yesterday. what i find ironic is, it was during McKinley's tenure when the Phil-Am War started. full circle, i guess. nevertheless, it opened a lot of people's eyes about a war that is almost forgotten. also, a lecture was presented by Barry Pritchard, whose grandfather (M.J. Dowling) was the first westerner to interview the sultan.
enjoy!

That Library museum was funded in part by a tiny gold coin issued by the US mint ; the McKinley Dollar .

Now worth $500. :cool:

Ho brah. It takes a lot of work doing what you did. Carefully packing da delicate ivory pieces. I recently moved and bubble packing hilts and scabbards is a big chore. Good job on the dispay, keep up the good work.
