A McPherson County farmer, George Harrouff of Lone Tree Township near King City (now Elyria), records his cash received and paid out in a ledger book. The entries include the date, item purchased or other transaction, and the amount paid or received. In the late nineteenth century, many farmers organized under the Farmers' Alliance and later the Peoples' Party against big business due to heavy indebtedness and an unstable economy.
