| Abstract: | The University of Mississippi Archives houses a ledger used by the Locust Grove Plantation to record slave inventory and cotton harvest for the years from 1825 to 1844. This ledger provides daily harvest data, by slave, for those years. The ledger also lists the inventory of the plantation's slaves as of 1 January 1828, and their marriages, births and deaths. Locust Grove increased its inventory of slaves over the years 1825 to 1844 and sold few slaves. |
