<b>720. SLAVE APPRAISAL </b>A partial early estate appraisal, 2pp. folio, [Louisiana]. Nov. 25, 1819, listing six slaves sold by name and price. Instead of breaking the slaves out individually, this particular executioner chose to itemize each individual's purchase, whether slaves, pigs, cotton, etc., in the order in which they were purchased. One entry reads: <i>"...1 Heifer $10.00, 1 Negro man Simon $350, one Negro woman Shelby $400...</i>". Encapsulated in Japanese tissue for preservation, very good.<b> $100-150</b>
