Evidence has surfaced to suggest that the thirty distributions were carried out in December of 1823 during a clandestine operation that took place on the evening of the 24[SUP]th[/SUP].
In the pamphlet we are told of Beale's stay at Buford's, as it turns out he stayed there again in winter of 1823. During his visit he arrived in the possession of a bright red wagon, this being tendered by seven magnificent reindeer exchanged for silver at a location in the north. Beale arrived on the evening of the 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] and after a long rest from his travels he again departed on the eve of the 24[SUP]th[/SUP] never to be seen again.
Witnesses recorded that when Beale left the wagon appeared to be heavily loaded, its contents having been covered over with a thick green blanket trimmed in gold. It is also said that Beale was nearly mistaken for a British officer due to his red dress. But the mystery doesn’t end here.
The next morning, December 25[SUP]th[/SUP], several Bedford county residents reported hearing loud cries in the middle of the night from what they thought to be a swiftly passing wagon, these witnesses all having described hearing the exact same jolly cries of, “Ho! Ho! Ho!”
