Minutes books 1903-1949.

These 6 ledgers contain handwritten minutes of the Nathaniel P. Lyon Post No. 5, for the period from 3 January 1903 through January 1949.

Many of the clippings are obituaries of Boulder pioneers who were members of the Post, so these volumes are a good source of biographical information for early Boulder.
