Abby Hill, First Northern Pacific Railway Commission [daybook], 1904
Scope and Contents
This 48-page daybook details Hill’s first of three commissions painting scenery for the Northern Pacific Railway in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. It dates from July 21 to November 26, 1904. Hill took brief notes on a daily basis about her activities and these notes inform her narrative style journal from the same year (see Box 12, Folder 8). A significant difference between this daybook and Hill’s 1904 journal is the inclusion of notes about her visit to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, also known as the St. Louis World’s Fair, in November 1904. These notes are not found in the journal, which ends in October of that year.
A typed transcription is available for this daybook.
