Extract

Recently one of my friends, Mrs. Christine Adams Jones, brought me a home-made account book, covered in rawhide and hand sewed with linen thread. The book was made and kept by one of her ancestors, Jacob Adams, a farmer-shoemaker of Newbury, Massachusetts. Its pages were yellowed and crackling with age. The first date in it to greet my eye was 1673, the last 1693!
