Description
"Following the format of the widely acclaimed, The Value of a Dollar, The Value of a Dollar 1600- 1865, The Colonial Era to The Civil War records the actual prices of thousands of items that consumers purchased, from the Colonial Era to the Civil War. Our editorial department was flooded with requests from users of our Value of a Dollar for the same type of information, just from an earlier time period. This volume was created to fill that important need"--Publisher website (September 2009).
Description
Starting with the founding of America and extending through the Colonial Era to the Civil War, "The Value of a Dollar 1600-1865" focuses on what things cost and how much workers made. Its coverage is diverse, including the cost of everything from clothing to cows, from treatment of a snake bite to nervousness, from the passage of a young female slave to a clothing trunk. Efforts have been made to include nearly every item necessary for everyday life so students, historians, and the simply curious can explore the wage and price structure of early America. Also illustrated are commodity values, investment data and income opportunities. For clarity, there are also currency conversion tables.
