| | Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 81 | Title: | Lewis Schaaf Diary
| | | | Creator: | Schaaf, Lewis | | | | Dates: | 1868-1872 | | | | Abstract: | 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. | | | | Call #: | MS 4417 | | | | Extent: | 0.10 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Schaaf, Lewis, 1846-1889. | Union Pacific Railroad Company. | Central Pacific Railroad Company. | Frontier and pioneer life -- California. | Frontier and pioneer life -- Nevada. | Voyages to the Pacific coast. | California -- Description and travel. | Nevada -- Description and travel. | Sierra Nevada Mountains (Calif. and Nevada)
