Manuscripts
Mrs. H. H. Dayton kept this diary while traveling with her husband, Nate, and Mr. and Mrs. Ben H. Van Levy in 1909. The diary begins in September 1909 with the couples leaving and traveling to Minneapolis, St. Paul, Banff, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Portland, and then south to California. Mrs. Dayton spends 12 pages describing her experiences in San Francisco: the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake; Golden Gate Park; Cliff House; Chinatown; as well as a visit to an opium den. The diary ends after the couples traveled back to the east coast, arriving home in October 1909. The diary also contains several lists: hotels; cities visited; railroads traveled; theaters attended; miles traveled; and states crossed. The names of the travelers are inside the front cover.
