I need to know how much money the average person would have made in 1820s America.
The situation is that a wealthy man wants to bribe a resurrectionist (grave-robber) to get information, and I wanted it to be at least a few months income, if not a years worth. I can't even figure out where to go to research that.
But, maybe I'm just lonesome up here in rainy Maine and would like someone to talk to. And research is more fun than writing today.
Thanks!
