Notes
207 Notes De Bow often changed the title of his journal between January 1846 and February 1867. Although I consistently and uniformly refer to De Bow’s Review as a singular title— abbreviated throughout the notes as DR—the actual titles and date changes were as follows: Commercial Review of the South and West, January 1846–January 1847; De Bow’s Commercial Review of the South and West, February 1847–June 1850; De Bow’s Review of the Southern and Western States, July 1850–December 1852; De Bow’s Review, January 1853–August 1864; De Bow’s Review, United States Journal of Agricultural, Commercial, Industrial Progress and Resources, January 1866–February 1867. Readers should also note that US Census Office, Seventh Census of the United States, 1850 (Washington, DC, 1853), and Eighth Census of the United States, 1860 (Washington, DC, 1864), are collectively cited as Composite Census Records, 1850–1860, both in the notes and in the tables.
