Trader's Store at Fort Hays, Kansas, c.1868 Hill P. Wilson, post trader, is shown standing in front of the store.

The post traders' store held a unique distinction among the confines of the fort, being the sole civilian establishment allowed within its walls. The post trader or sutler forged a contract with the army, enabling them to operate a store in exchange for a predetermined yearly payment. The prices set at this emporium were determined by a board of officers, who granted a specific markup on the items sold. Some of these traders' stores boasted an attached officers club room, serving as a haven for officers to drink, play cards, test their skills at billiards, and engage in camaraderie.

John Deere Wagon sometime after 1881

The wagon in the photograph displays the company name "John Deere & Company," just aft of the front wheel, indicating that the picture was taken after 1868. In that year, John Deere incorporated the business as Deere & Company.

However, John Deere's involvement in manufacturing wooden wagons can only be traced back to 1881 when the company partnered with a wagon manufacturer in Council Bluffs, Iowa, known as Deere, Wells, and Co., dating this photo to no earlier than 1881.

Granbury, the county seat of Hood County, is approximately thirty-six miles southwest of Fort Worth, nestled along the shores of Lake Granbury, adjacent to U.S. Highway 377. The town's roots date back to 1854 when a group of emigrants, primarily from Tennessee, led by "Uncle Tommy" Lambert and Amon Bond, ventured across the Brazos River into traditional Indian territory. That same year, Elizabeth Crockett relocated her family from Tennessee to settle on a land grant bestowed by the Republic of Texas to the descendants of those who had fought in the Texas Revolution of 1836.
