Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
The employers' reports of time lost by freedmen, 1866–68, are arranged by year and thereunder alphabetically by initial letter of surname of employer. The few reports for 1868 are dated with the year only. The reports vary in both form and content but usually list the names of the freedmen, the amount of time lost, and the reason for the loss (e.g., sickness, idleness, and making clothes).
