- Scope and Contents
- Inspection reports of plantations from subordinate officers, January 31, 1866–December 31, 1868, are similar to those of the Assistant Inspector General and probably provided the basis for them. The series includes consolidated reports, covering several months or a year, and monthly reports. Monthly reports precede consolidated reports; both are arranged chronologically. Most of the information in the reports is statistical, although there are also some narrative reports and a few statistical reports with attached narrative pages. There are no reports for February and March 1868. This is the only series containing a substantial number of records for 1866.
