Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Before the town had secrets, it had systems.Berlin, New Hampshire, 1974. The mills are running, the stacks breathe over the valley, and the Androscoggin carries the weight of everything built along its banks.Twenty-two-year-old Julie Moreau knows the city by its working parts: mill whistles, shift changes, bakery windows glowing against dirty snow, motel rooms that never stay clean for long, and the back stairs, side doors, and alleys women learn to notice before anyone teaches them why.Julie cleans offices, boardinghouse rooms, and the places respectable men leave dirty. She keeps a blue notebook because paper is safer than speaking, and because in a town built on ledgers, routes, debts, and silence, writing something down may be the only way to survive it.Then women begin vanishing into explanations.A bus ticket south. A locked room at the North Star Motel. A missing office key. A yellow ribbon near the lower river. A girl in a green coat who knows too much and can barely speak at all.Each clue seems small enough to dismiss. Families have reputations to protect. Men with money have friends in the right offices. Winter makes accidents easy to believe.But Julie is watching.Her search leads through Main Street bakeries, church basements, boardinghouse kitchens, mill offices, motel ledgers, winter roads, and the old boom piers along the Androscoggin-remnants of the river's logging past, when timber moved along routes older than the crimes later built on top of them.Before the Burn Line moved women, it moved wood. Before it became evidence, it was infrastructure. Before anyone called it evil, it was useful.As Julie follows the trail, she uncovers something larger than one disappearance: a hidden system built from money, favors, debt, access, and official records men thought they controlled. Every locked room has a reason. Every missing page has a history. Every road points somewhere, even the ones no one admits exist.But Berlin has another map.North Country women keep keys in flour tins. Warnings in recipe boxes. Proof in coat linings, library files, and rooms men were never meant to enter. They pass names through kitchens, mark danger with color, and remember what the official story leaves out.Julie is not a detective. She is a cleaner, a daughter, a witness, and a young woman learning that being underestimated can be dangerous in both directions.The closer she gets to the truth, the more the city tightens around her: a police officer with a careful voice, a motel clerk who knows more than she says, a priest who realizes too late how concern can become a leash, a powerful family with old debts to hide, and Victor Arsenault, a young man learning that a story does not have to be true to become the record.On a January night when firelight hits the ice, Julie must decide what can be saved, what must be hidden, and what must be changed before the men chasing her understand what she has moved beyond their reach.No witnesses means us.The Burn Line is a standalone historical crime thriller and prequel to the world of Androscoggin After Dark: a dark, atmospheric North Country story of mill-town secrets, missing women, corrupted records, river history, and one young woman determined not to let the official version be the only story that survives. Berlin, NH, 1974: cleaner Julie Moreau follows missing women, hidden records, and a dangerous river route into a system built on debt, silence, and power. Independent prequel to the Androscoggin After Dark series. This Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. It wasn't witchcraft. It was arsenic.A wife prepares supper. A nurse measures medicine. A boardinghouse keeper tends an ailing guest. These were the ordinary acts that kept a household alive. They also placed food, medicine, and vulnerable people in the hands of someone everyone had learned to trust.What happened when that trust became the first obstacle to recognizing a crime?In Nurtured to Death, public historian Erica R. Buteau returns to the records behind some of New England's most unsettling cases involving women, poison, and deaths within trusted households. Beginning with a troubling investigation in Lancaster, New Hampshire, she follows the evidence through sickrooms, boardinghouses, cemeteries, newspaper columns, and courtrooms, asking what the surviving record can actually tell us.The journey includes Hannah Kinney, Lydia Sherman, Sarah Jane Robinson, Jane Toppan, Amy Archer-Gilligan, and Mary Cowan, alongside less familiar women whose stories have been overshadowed by more famous names. Some confessed. Some were convicted. Others were acquitted, were never brought to trial, or remained under suspicion long after the legal proceedings ended. Their cases cannot be reduced to a single motive, a convenient label, or a confidently repeated body count.Poison could resemble disease. A death might be attributed to an ordinary illness until another followed, and then another. By the time neighbors, physicians, or relatives began asking questions, the evidence might already be buried. Exhumations and chemical examinations could expose an alarming pattern, but establishing that poison was present was not always the same as proving who had administered it.Drawing on contemporary newspapers, trial accounts, vital records, genealogical research, and other surviving sources, Buteau examines how caregiving created access and how ideas about women shaped the response to suspected violence. Competence could become suspicious. Calm could be read as cruelty. A marriage, an inheritance, an argument, or a reputation could acquire new meaning after a death.Yet suspicion could also outrun the facts. An accusation might harden into biography. A newspaper's certainty could survive an acquittal. Later accounts could merge possible victims with documented deaths until repetition gave an uncertain story the appearance of settled history.Buteau follows those claims backward, distinguishing allegations from charges, charges from convictions, and documented evidence from later retelling. She returns attention to the people whose deaths too often became supporting details in someone else's notoriety, and leaves unresolved questions open where the record cannot support a clear answer.The book also considers the stories Americans tell about notorious women and includes a contemporary comparison with the Lindsay Clancy case. That discussion examines the continuing influence of assumptions about motherhood, mental illness, and female violence on public reaction, while preserving the distinction between public judgment and legal findings.Part historical investigation and part examination of how crime stories are made, Nurtured to Death explores the uneasy relationship between care and power, intimacy and danger, evidence and reputation. It asks how people recognized harm inside places they believed were safe, and what was lost when a complicated history became a familiar legend.For readers of historical true crime, women's history, and New England history, this is a deeply researched account of households under suspicion, forgotten victims, and the distance between what happened and what history remembers. From nineteenth-century sickrooms to modern courtrooms, Nurtured to Death exami Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
