Accounts of taxes paid on passengers of steamboats, 1817-1829.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80417337

The collection consists principally of tax lists for canal and steam boats on the Hudson River, Erie Canal and Lake Champlain from 1817 - 1829. Also included is an 1817 compilation of taxes gathered from Hudson River steamboats. The canal boat lists, 1827 - 1828, record passengers, by their last names, with the taxes they paid. The steamboats lists, 1817 (bulk) - 1819, record only the numbers of passengers and the tax paid. The lists provide the total number of passengers carried during a particular month; the tax was then computed on this figure. In some instances, the passenger totals are broken down into daily figures. Each account also has a sworn statement by a crew member certifying the accuracy of the list.
