Neillsville True Republican: The silver medal found on Austin Buttery's farm in
Levis (Clark Co., Wis.) is exciting a great deal of curiosity. A number of coin
collectors have made the owner handsome offers for it, but as yet they have not
got the prize. Much speculation is rife as to what chief received it from the
government in 1825, etc. Perhaps the Indian department archives contain records
of the medals given to chiefs who assisted the government in its frontier wars.
It is not impossible that the medal was bestowed for services rendered in the
war of 1812, so called.
