Alapaha General, Store Manifest

Abstract

The Alapaha Store manifest is a handwritten accounting of the goods and customers that visited the Alapaha Store, a post road general store in Lakeland, Georgia, (which used to be called Alapaha-Alapaha became Milltown which became Lakeland) between January - December, 1851. The manifest was repurposed as a scrapbook around 1870 and features newspaper clippings from national and regional papers with excerpts of poetry, bible sermons, and stories.
