The valuation of $24 for the purchase of Manhattan island (60 guilders
in Dutch currency) dates from AT LEAST the 1860 NYS Gazetteer, p.437
(any earlier publication?).

Is there a useful website that shows a table or gives inflation
conversions from US economy earlier-period-dollars to an approximation
of a recent-year-dollar?
