Description

Book Synopsis
The general store in late-nineteenth-century America was the economic heart of a small town. Linda English combed ledgers from the 1870s and 1880s and found in them the experiences of thousands of people in Texas and Indian Territory. Particularly revealing are her insights into the lives of women, immigrants, and ethnic and racial minorities.

Trade Review
Linda English makes skilled and sensitive use of store ledgers to paint a word picture of daily life in Texas and Oklahoma Territory and reveal the complex relationships and power dynamics between storekeepers and their customers."" - T. Lindsay Baker co-author of Adobe Walls: The History and Archeology of the 1874 Trading Post
