“…Mirroring New York's larger economic transition from fur to grain (Leitner 2013;Matson 1994), the Livingstons went from fur-trading merchants to landowners / grain exporters, and then nascent industrialists. Though perhaps not quite at Braudel's third level, the family also converted its economic power into political power (the main reason they received such large land grants in the first place), becoming among the leaders of the colony's "landed interest" (Bonomi 1971: 69;Kierner 1992: 10-47 (Kim 1978: 36-37; see Map 1).…”

R Ro ob be er rt t B Bl lo oo om m John Carroll University J Jo oh hn n S So ol lo ot tk ko o A Ab bs st tr ra ac ct t This paper considers barter accounting as practised in the US during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Different types of barter are described and illustrated. Background on the economic environment during these periods that was conducive to barter arrangements is furnished. Examples are provided of actual barter transactions taken from account books in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Furthermore, contemporary barter accounting and taxation practices are outlined and found to exhibit significant complexity. To understand such accounting, it is necessary to examine any surviving backup records, which underlie the account book transactions.K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : account books; barter; Colonial America; eighteenth century; history, trade. 91 1Acknowledgements: Our gratitude is extended to three anonymous reviewers for their assistance in further developing the paper. We also acknowledge the research assistance of K.B. Rose, an M.B.A. student, at John Carroll University.
