Manuscript Account Book Michael H. Kitzmiller.

Oblong narrow folio account book, leather spine & boards, about half the leaves contain text. Some edgewear, top hinge a little tender, but firm, normal aging and browning; very nice condition. Manuscript farm log and account book for Michael H. Kitzmiller. The ledger indicates he moved on to the farm in April 1848, but the first entry is on September 1, 1847. Thanks to a pretty legible hand it's easy to track farm prices during the duration of this log. In 1847, corn 62 1/2 per bushel, wheat $1.25 and rye $.75. Kitzmiller apears to have had a working relationship with William Pannebaker for a number of years. Pannebaker's business dealings with Kitzmiller covered the period from September 29, 1849 to March 29, 1861. He also worked with David Boyer between April 27, 1848 to October 18, 1851. The last entry is dated December 6, 1878, which was more than ten years after the previous entry.
