Did not know about it but am not surprised. Joseph Garrett, just back from the Civil War, may well have started out in the cigar trade, as others did. I note in the post that by 1867 he was involved in liquor AND tobacco. My estimate is that the profit margin being larger on liquor than tobacco caused a number of entrepreneurs like Garrett to combine them. There are quite a few examples of similar behavior among "whiskey men." I will check out the map, however, and add it to my file on the Garretts. Also thanks for your kind remarks on my blog.
