Abstract:

Two ledgers and twelve combination personal and shop diaries kept by Thomas Bailey and his son Henry, tool and cabinetmakers at Fort Howard, Green Bay, and De Pere, Wis. The entries from 1853 to about 1890 illustrate the variety of output from one local shop in Wisconsin before the development of the factory system. Entries from 1842 to 1845 record the establishment of the First Baptist Home Missionary Society in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
