Commonwealth Vs. George Brown Accusation of Andrew Carpenter & George Brown Stealing Corn
-
Description
-
Before owning land Andrew Carpenter was accused of stealing $4 worth of corn with George Brown on the 12th of October in 1871. The value of $4 worth of corn in the 1870s would have varied depending on the specific time and location within that decade, as well as other economic factors. In the United States, for example, the price of corn in the 1870s varied, but it was generally around $0.30 to $0.50 per bag. The average price of corn was around $0.40 per bag during that time.
