Scope and Contents

Item is a bound ledger containing the accounts of various residents of the Village of Catskill with Charles L. Beach and Company for deliveries of Coal. It appears that accounts were both for residential users and businesses. An alphabetical index of all account holders appears at the front of the ledger. On pages 415 to 422 appear what seems to be an account possibly of coal useage or sales from the Steamboat Redfield, and a separate account follows for the "McManus Hay Dock."
