Edmund Howe of Mansfield, Connecticut, maintained an account book from 1802-1825. He appears to have been a farmer, producing hay and wood for credit. He also produced leather, boots and woolen cloth. The books also suggest that Howe was a blacksmith, particularly who provided horseshoes. Most of Howe's accounts are recorded as cash transactions in English pounds and shillings.
