History

Samuel Caldwell Gallup learned the saddlery craft in his older brother Francis’s firm, Gallup & Gallatin Saddlery. With the help of his brother’s business partner, Edward L. Gallatin, S.C. Gallup opened his own business in 1869 in Pueblo Colorado. The saddlery operated firms in Dodge City, Kansas from 1878 to 1880 and in Durango, Colorado from around 1881 to 1884. In 1892 S. C. Gallup formed the S. C. Gallup and Frazier Saddlery with Robert Thompson Frazier, which lasted until 1898. In 1904, S. C. Gallup died. The firm was then run by Judith Gallup from 1905 to 1911, followed by James Wimmer from 1912 – 1921. The S. C. Gallup & Co. Saddlery was closed between 1921 and 1924.
