“In the event that it might be useful to another writer or curious person, the site Measuring Worth is a great resource for helping understand the historical value of commodities–such as slaves–and more.

It was, of course, curiosity about the costs of slaves in modern dollars that led me to Measuring Worth in the first place.”
