This collection consists of four account books dating between 1837 and 1867. One account book lists a categorized inventory of items sold and the total monetary amount per category. The three other account books list the name of the purchaser as well as the items sold immediately beneath each name. Adjacent to each listed item is the amount the item sold for and then below, before the next account, is the purchase total. The items which were sold ranged from chickens and silk hats to other common household goods. The phrase “Dandridge Tennessee” appears at the top of three of the account books which likely indicates the place from which these account books originated. Based upon the handwriting, it appears that at least two of the account books may have been authored by the same individual.
