Manuscripts
The collection consists of the correspondence and papers of Andrew Brown. The collection is made up primarily of business records and contains over 100 volumes of day books, invoices and account books. Also included are bills and receipts related to Brown's general store in Kernville, California, his jobs as postmaster and an agent for Wells, Fargo Express Company, and his other business interests. Of note in the collection are two account books from 1873 to 1886 for business transactions with Chinese individuals in Kernville. Some of the volumes are damaged and fragile so use may be restricted.
