Goodnight, Charles, 1836-1929. Correspondence, 1898-1937.

Title: Correspondence, 1898-1937.

The Charles Goodnight Correspondence (1887-1938) consists chiefly of personal correspondence between Charles Goodnight and various friends and business associates, some business correspondence relating to the purchase of several large clocks, personal memos, notes and receipts. Also present are newspaper and journal clippings related to Goodnight, Christmas cards from Mrs. Corinne Goodnight to M.S. Garretson, and a photograph of Charles Goodnight. Most of his letters refer to his obsession with the breeding of animals, the demise of the American buffalo, problems with his ranch, and his health. Goodnight's first wife is mentioned just in passing (though there are several condolence letters to him after her death), and his second wife barely at all. Most of the correspondence after his death in 1929 refers to the breaking up of his various animal herds, and the possibility of his land being taken over by the State Game Commission of Texas to be made into a State Game Preserve and Bird Sanctuary.
