Description

Abraham M. Abraham was a Jewish merchant who operated the "People's Outfitting Store" in Independence and Weston, Missouri, outfitting settlers heading west on the Oregon and California trails. Independence was the primary jumping-off point for westward migration, and merchants like Abraham supplied wagons, provisions, and equipment for the arduous journey. His brass token (Miller Mo-41) is also cataloged as Musante GW-190 and Baker-506, reflecting its significance in the George Washington medal series. Abraham served the diverse frontier community of western Missouri during the peak years of overland emigration. Cataloged as Miller Mo-41.
