Today: September 15, I finally got the last few loads out of the old place. Officially, the old store is more gone than todays bison. And I have a grand new plan. Bob and I are creating a "List"; we will add to it every day and deduct things on the list that have "gone away". It is intended to be all the remaining crazy sale items ... but we will add things as we dig them out from the move. I Expect that the "List" will be an ongoing project well towards the end of this year ... I have that much "stuff" to get gone. The list is being called "Out with the Old" You have to request the list; we won't bother the rest of you who don't care about the wild price reductions on things like bison leather vests, low inventory gloves, jewelry, special knives, art prints, books and so much more. I will have a separate email address up here very shortly. You email and ask for "The Out with the Old list". You can ask for it just once; or weekly or monthly (not doing daily just yet). See something on the "list" you want, write me at my regular email (not the new special list request email, please). We will work out the details. The New Goodnight "Distribution Center" is receiving visitors already. If you want to come by, call me -817-992-8220 as far in advance as you can! The freezers are well stocked with bison steaks, bison brats and hot dogs, some burgers still left, some of our "buffalo cocaine" .... well, that's what a bunch of the bison jerky "addicts" call Gehl's Kippered Bison jerky. Still a little bison corned brisket, as well. Isaac promises the "new" website look is really close to done! STAY TUNED!
The New Goodnight "Distribution Center" is open. If you want to come by, call me -817-992-8220 a far in advance as you can! STAY TUNED!

Material

The Fort Union Trading Post Collection.  This is a catalog of trade beads excavated at the Fort Union historical site approximately 2 miles above the confluence of the Missouri River and its tributary - the Yellowstone, near the North Dakota and Montana state line.  Fort Union was established in 1829 as the headquarters of the American Fur Company's newly formed branch known as the Upper Missouri Outfit.

In 1968 excavation started and before completion over 38,000 glass, bone and shell beads were recovered, along with  large number of other artifacts.

This is a significant source of data regarding trade with the Blackfeet, the Crow,  Sioux, Cree and Metis.
