Issued June 23, 1882 to Mess. Jas Vergus & Son for $25.15 in goods. Includes codfish, apples, syrup and vinegar. With short note at bottom indicating the possible need for a corrected price on the vinegar. Signed "BMcN&Co." Fort MacGinnis was built after the defeat of Col. Custer at the battle of Little Big Horn. Four forts were built in Montana Territory around this time. Fort MacGinnis was one of the first frontier forts designed with war department blueprints, rather than a local commander blueprint. Civilian carpenters built it in 1881 [mtgenweb.org]. - Vinegar Collection
