This 951-page journal is written in a narrative style and covers over a year of travel around the United States by Hill and her children. It dates from October 8, 1901 to October 23, 1902. These detailed journal entries were informed by the brief notes that Hill recorded in her daybook of the same year (see Box 12, Folder 2).

The journal begins with Hill's trip east to Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, New York City, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, and various other locations between October 1901 and January 1902. In February 1902, she and the children traveled to the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where Hill was a guest of Booker T. Washington and attended the Annual Farmers Conference there. Following that visit, Hill and her children went to New Orleans and Bay St. Louis, Louisiana, where they remained for over a month. They then moved on to California, where they stayed in Los Angeles for two weeks before heading to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to camp in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. From there they traveled north to Oregon and then into Washington where they set up camp at Trout Lake and stayed for several months. They then traveled to Hood River and Warrendale, Oregon. The journal concludes in October 1902 with Hill and her children still at camp in Warrendale, Oregon.
