Dated December 10, 1814, the document starts with the evaluation of “One Negro Woman” and “One ditto (Negro) Girl,” each appraised at $200. The list goes one for 4 pages including items of everyday farm life and animals required to keep such a farm. Final page signed by William Crow, Luke Robinson, George Harlan, and James Logan.
Condition as shown. Sober look at the dehumanizing practice of valuing human beings, next to farm equipment, as property to be bought and sold.
