Scope and Contents

This 88-page daybook covers nearly a year of travel around the United States by Hill and her children. Hill took brief notes on a daily basis about her activities and these notes inform her full, narrative style journal from the same year (see Box 12, Folders 3-5). This journal includes notes on Hill’s travels from Seattle to Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, New York City, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, Tuskegee, New Orleans, Bay St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, the Columbia River Gorge, and various other locations. The daybook concludes with a two-month long camping excursion in Trout Lake, Washington.

A typed transcription is available for this daybook.
