      <head>Scope and Content
</head>
      <p>Louisa County (Va.) Unidentified Account Book, 1846, is an account book volume, possibly from a store, that records payments made either in money or by labor for various goods. The persons in the book are most likely African Americans as the volume has the phrase "negro book" written on the inside cover. Each entry is made under the name of a person and records the goods purchased and either the money owed or paid, or if paid in labor and what labor was done. Kinds of goods purchased include sugar, tobacco, molasses, buttons, shoes, trousers, cloth, knives, a watch, and so forth. There is no discernible arrangement though there is an index at the front of the volume. The volume is extremely difficult to read due to ink bleed through from other pages.
