Leonard Osgood, stamped 1829 (with entries earlier from 1825 and concluding 1864), no place, but prob. New England. 6-1/2”w x 8”h, paper over boards w/leather spine, ca. 180 pp. Such prominent New England family names as Chever (Cheever), Carleton, Atherton, Dodge, Dyer, Fisk, Hudson, Herrick, Means, Wintworth, et al. Detailed accounts showing labor, barter, early trades, altogether fascinating and recorded in a clear hand, with the odd slips laid in, one for “work done on the parish house.” Shown here is Osgood’s table of contents (partial)
