In addition to Kevin's suggestion, You may want to check the bibliography of Thomas McCraw's The Founders and Finance.  There may be some bibliographic help in Howard Bodenhorn's State Banking in Early America, but that runs a little later. The Ph.D. dissertation by Rosemary Hynes,“The Mask of Liberty: The Making of Freeholder Democracy in Revolutionary (Boston University) may also touch on this.

Subject: [VA-HIST] Revolutionary Debt Certificates

Dear Friends:

Can anyone refer me to a general source on the change in the value of debt certificates over time from the Revolution through Hamilton's financing plan? I don't need anything precise. What I am interested in his how far the debts had collapsed and when (and how much) they started to come back after adoption of the Constitution but before Hamilton's plan was adopted. (I am particularly interested in Georgia debt, but I suspect that the general trends were similar after adoption of the Constitution.) Suggestions welcome.

Thanks!
John
