Baylor & Shortridge Receipt Book, 1822-1835
The Baylor & Shortridge Receipt Book documents court judgments from 1822 to 1835 in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, reflecting the legal activities of attorneys Hiram Shortridge and Robert Emmett Bledsoe Baylor, who co-founded their firm in 1822. Both men originated from Kentucky, with Baylor later lending his name to Baylor University. The book is a photocopy of the original manuscript, lacking pagination and a table of contents, with some text lost due to binding damage.
