Daybook of A. X. Shields
of Knoxville, Tennessee
for the year 1876
These hand-written entries were made in a pocket-sized diary
given to Mr. Shields as an advertising promotion by Jno. Lewis, a representative
of Cowan, McClung & Co. The front
portion of the diary contained a calendar and CM&C's inventory. Only
those entries that had names associated with them were transcribed. Several
entries had such poor handwriting that it was hard to determine whether the entry
was a name or just a word.
