Abstract
The Meadowcroft archival collection contains several 19th- and early-20th-century ledger books which reveal period business practices, the value of available goods and services, and a listing of customer names with their account activity. One ledger caught my eye recently in light of the exhibition, American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. Locally acquired by Meadowcroft founder Albert Miller in 1981, the ledger primarily documents the sale of whiskey between the years of 1819 and 1844.
