Abstract

Roderick Noble's General Store Ledger documents the Shutesbury, Massachusetts business from 1797 to 1811. These records include information about Noble's purchases and employees, as well as other overhead costs. Noble seems to also document his business or transactions in Norfolk. The pages in the second half of the ledger have been pasted over with clippings from various publications. These clippings range from political and religious texts to poetry and stories; the additions were made at a later date, primarily from 1836 to 1844.
