A journal recording Sarah Shurtleff's travels and her reactions to and thoughts about the people she met and the places she visited. The volume is illustrated with pictures she collected and with photographs, many of which were taken by her husband, Asahel Shurtleff. The volume includes an index.
This series of journals are copies of the pencilled diaries that she wrote at the time of her trip (see ref. A170 box 12 198v-200v). Shurtleff writes about Native American mythology, customs, months, villages, parades, graves, children and baskets. She also mentions seeing the Selkirk glacier, sulphur baths, totem poles, and various churches.
