Description: Two (2) Saddle Supply Invoices To JOS. SULLIVAN - FORT BENTON, MONTANA 1899-1902 Joseph Sullivan was one of Montana's most famous saddlers. He moved to Fort Benton in 1882. He continued to operate his shop until his death in 1940. His biggest order was 500 saddles for the Northwest Mounted Police. Charlie Russell was a good friend who would visit him often. After his death in 1940 a man by the name of Charles Bovey was going to attend a horse sale in Ft. Benton. He never made it to the sale, but instead was introduced to the two unmarried daughters of Jos. Sullivan. They showed him their father's shop and he was so impressed, they just gave it to him. With one condition of course, that it remain untouched. This was an old wooden building on Front Street and the city with more modern brick buildings wanted it gone. So, Bovey disassembled it and re-erected in a huge barn at the Great Falls Fairgrounds. If you google Jos. Sullivan you will see there is still much more to this story, plus a look at what his shop looked like.1. Russell & McKay 1898 - San Francisco, CA.2. J.C.
