J. Adam Clark travel journal
Collection — Folder: S1103
Identifier: S1103
Scope and Contents
This collection is a copy of the small travel journal used by J. Adam Clark in 1854. Most of the penmanship is too faint to read, perhaps because it was in pencil. On page 30, the writing appears to be in ink and therefore easy to read. He traveled to several places in Michigan. In Chicago, he visited cousin George and "took tea with him." He went to Detroit, Buffalo, and Lancaster. On page 34, he wrote: "I have been gone something over 2 months, have travelled over Michigan, part of Indiana, and a considerable portion of Illinois. Have spent some money. Have not made out much of anything." He purchased property in Michigan. On the last pages, he lists expenses.
