STORE LEDGER

Tallapoosa Co., AL

This ledger was found in the Tallapoosa Court House. The ledger contains the 
dates, quantities, and costs of the various items purchased, as well has how 
the accounts were settled.   The ledger is bound, but untitled.  There is no 
indication of the name of the store that provided the goods.  All the 
transactions appear to have taken place in the late 1850’s.
