These letters, which Chester Ingersoll sent to the Joliet Signal, cover Ingersoll's overland trip to California. He includes many details about the journey including miles traveled each day, road and weather conditions, difficulties with the animals, the interaction with other travelers, the various historic sites along the trail, the equipment needed for the journey, and the Sioux Indians which he met at Fort Laramie. These typescripts are the copies edited by Douglas C. McMurtrie for publication in 1937.
