Microfilm of diaries and an autobiography kept by Anthony Ivins between 1875 and 1899. The first diary volume, dated 1875-1882, focuses on Ivins's travels throughout Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona.

The fifth diary is in a notebook imprinted with "U.S. Indian Service" and has the handwritten notation "Oaxaca Land Adjustment." The sixth volume contains Ivins's autobiography, which is a mix of prose and diary entries through 1897. The seventh and final volume is another diary kept in Mexico from 1897-1899.

In these two letters to his brother, J.D. Duncan writes that he has arrived in the town of Stockton, California from Wisconsin and plans to head north to the gold mines. A year later, he writes that he has found work with "a large Ditch Company." He writes of the current state of crops, of the scarcity of gold, and the danger posed by Indians. Nevertheless, J.D. believes there is still "plenty of gold to be had." HM 25788 is dated 1857, February 4, and HM 25789 is dated 1858, September 13, and both were written in Stockton, California.
