| | | | Creator: | Myrtle L. | | | | Dates: | 1898 | | | | Abstract: | Myrtle L. and her friend, Carrie E., were travelers from Cleveland, Ohio, on a sightseeing trip by steamer to Buffalo, New York, and then by train across the state to New York City. During their train ride, they stayed in towns and cities along the way, including Albany, Poughkeepsie, and Tarrytown. After visiting New York City, they traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The collection consists of a one volume journal and loose materials removed from the journal, kept by Myrtle L., a young woman whose surname is not recorded. The journal contains descriptions in detail of the sights and events of the journey, the young men they met, shopping excursions, friends and fellow Clevelanders they saw; and documents expenses incurred on the trip. Includes a description of the interior of the Rockefeller mansion in New York and an account of their visit there. The diarist also writes of her personal interests and of her impressions of the people and places she encountered. | | | | Call #: | MS 4596 | | | | Extent: | 0.10 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Myrtle L.
