Confederate Finance; first published in 1954; looks at the measures taken by the Confederacy to stabilize its currency and offer a basis for foreign exchange. By the end of the Civil War; the Confederacy had resorted to a number of financial expedients; including the most desperate of measures. The Confederate government seized the property of enemies; levied direct taxes; and placed duties on exports and imports. In addition; donations and gifts were gratefully accepted. All the while; treasury notes flooded the market; and loans were floated in an attempt to continue the Confederacy's existence.Richard Cecil Todd shows how these measures were used by the Confederate government to meet its obligations at home and abroad. He also discusses the organization and personnel of the Confederate Treasury Department.

The botanical Travels of William Bartram; son of John Bartram; the original botanist in this country.By Diann DirksThe book itself was in good condition. I found the botanical information a bit overwhelming because no common names were there for anything; which I wasn't expecting. I'll try to slug through the rest of the book but I think I'm going to be on the internet a lot to find out the names I'm used to on these things. I forgot William's dad was a botanist and would look at all plants with the Latin names. I'm very glad that someone printed it though. And I wonder if his father's books are available.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy JosephAmazing historical account2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Being a journal and not written for reading like a storyBy MichaelThis book was a journal of Bartram's travels through the southeast. Being a journal and not written for reading like a story; I lost interest and didn't finish the book.
