Manuscripts
The first five months of this diary were written in Minneapolis (except a week long trip to Washington D.C. for President Roosevelt's inauguration in March). Hale left for the mines on May 24, first stopping at Seattle. He arrived at his father's mine on June 7. Hale spent June through October at the Atlin and Willow Creek Mining Company in Discovery, British Columbia. Hale writes in detail about the mines, his work there, his fellow miners, and his social life. On his way home, Hale stopped at the Coppermount Mine run by the Alaska Copper Company on Prince of Wales Island (another mine in which his family was invested). He spent a month there observing the copper smelting operations. He was back home in Minneapolis for Christmas.

Manuscripts
A collection of 15 manuscript maps and sketches drawn by William Hale Long which detail various areas and battles during the American Civil War; the maps and sketches focus on Northern Virginia and cover the years from 1862 to 1865. The material is a historical resource for the history of the campaigns and illustrate the progress of the war in this area as well as its conclusion. Long led various reconnaissances and these maps were used by him for this work. The material also serves as documentation for the reconstruction of the action for these battles and campaigns. The maps were originally folded and stored in a morocco case but are now flattened and placed in 15 individual folders.
