Nantucket Mechant's Ledger, 1763-1772
1 vol. (0.25 linear feet).

Ledger of an important merchant located in the cape region or islands, possibly Nantucket, of Massachusetts. Although the exact location is unknown, the ledger includes many common Nantucket names, such as Coffin, Folger, and Starbuck. The merchant was in business with traders who traveled along the entire eastern coast, and even though he traded in a variety of goods, he seems to have had a particular focus on selling cloth, liquor, and tobacco.
