Mountaineer barter and odd coins in Kentucky and West Virginia
A long anecdote reports a commercial traveler’s tale of barter in mountain Kentucky and West Virginia. Mountaineers trade skins for currency in shops, with rabbit and squirrel hides exchanged for cash, while a dance exchange notes the value of vegetables used as tickets and onions given in change. The piece also sketches a varied miscellany from an improved rotating pan to a humorous notice about prayers and a brief note on a young railroad president.
