1838-1852 Justice in Rural America, Steuben County, NY

Records of Justice of the Peace James Wolverton. Civil cases involving issuance of summonses, property attachments for debt, defaults on promissory notes, unpaid amounts for goods received and labor performed, etc. Many of the cases involved small amounts, only a few dollars, that, however was a time when a dollar actually bought something. No hardcover binding, good otherwise.
