Early Pierce City reminiscence and Hiltebrand ledger
An excerpt recounts Pierce City in the 1860s with scarce printed records. It cites J. C. Hiltebrand’s 1863 64 account book kept at Oro Fino near Rhoades Creek, revealing prices for boots meals drinks and goods, and notes a few residents including Levi Ankeny and Miss Petty. The piece reflects on vanished towns, eccentric bookkeeping, and fragile memory of pioneer days.
