The first volume in this collection documents George Stacker's farm between 1851 and 1853. The majority of the entries describe the weather, how many plows are being used, and what crops are being planted. The second volume is an account book for a shipping business containing entries from 1819 to 1834. Later hands, including Blanche S., George, Charley, and Margaret Stacker, used the book's blank pages for doodling and practicing their handwriting. The final volume is composed primarily of records of George Stacker's accounts with Woods, Stacker & Co. from 1849 to 1860. It also contains some household accounts.
