| description |
Smith served as an overseer on Willis P. Bocock's Waldwick Plantation in Marengo County, Alabama. The book records births and deaths among the slaves; time lost for sickness and visits by the doctor; articles sold from and purchased for the plantation; the amount of cotton picked by each slave and the number of bales shipped; rainy days throughout the year; and information about livestock and other crops. Also included are loose pages that probably came from another plantation book; the handwriting seems to match D. H. Smith's, and most of the pages are dated 1856. |
