In 1865 he joined the Photographic Corps of the Union Pacific Railroad and traveled the route west of the Missouri River, shooting photographs for a history of the region. The experience led to a series of lectures and exhibitions throughout the eastern United States. The collection consists of a genealogical scrapbook and miscellaneous papers, including charts, clippings, photographs, biographical sketches, certificates, and copies of letters, 1604-1904. Also included are 1878 and 1879 brochures from Sedgwick's lecture series. The papers pertain primarily to Sedgwick's genealogical endeavors and his career as a lecturer. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4160.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4417.xml Lewis Schaaf was a Brooklyn, Ohio, native who traveled to California and Nevada in 1868, working as a teamster and logcutter in the Sierra Nevada mountains before becoming disenchanted with life on the frontier and returning to Ohio three years later. The collection consists of an electrostatic copy of a diary chronicling Schaaf's experiences on the far Western frontier. The diary details Schaaf's journey west by ship via Panama and his life in a lumber camp in the Sierra Nevadas, describing the social life on the frontier, including his involvement in the local Odd Fellows lodge, the celebration at the completion of the transcontinental railroad, as well as train robberies and community destruction from fires. Included are everyday details of pioneering life such as recipes for tobacco substitutes and ways to clear mosquitoes from a room. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4417.xml Thu, 01 Jan 2015 12:00:00 GMT
