Dear posse and publicans...the mystery of Sam's cash book is solved....Robert Monroe sent some earlier pages today and when I opened this file it hit me like a ton...this wasn't SAM'S cashbook, but Charles E. Perkins cash book, with a page or two of Sam's information starting in the 1870s. ALL the earlier names are other accounts of Hartford clients and cases relating to Perkins, Sam's attorney and financial advisor for many years. The page headings gave it away. I will fwd the file to anyone interested. David PS...can anyone tell me what caused Sam to fire Perkins?
