Arkansas expense account book, 1889

1 volume

A currently anonymous writer, likely a traveling salesperson, maintained this "Harris' Improved Expense Account Book for Traveling Men: Vest Pocket Edition" primarily while traveling in Arkansas during January 1889. Other stops appear to have been in Tennessee and North Carolina. The entries are divided between cash disbursed and received, with sections for towns visited, hotel bills, forms of transportation and fare (railroad, sleeper and boat passage, hack, omnibus, street car, etc.), mileage, baggage, washing and incidentals, and other travel expenses.
