Microfilm of the diaries of Elias H. Blackburn dated 1849-1862 and 1900-1908. The first diary, dated 1849-1857, opens while Blackburn was living in Provo and recalls his daily activities there as bishop. The second volume, dated 1857-1859, contains similar content. The third, fourth, and fifth volumes cover Blackburn's British mission from 1859-1862, as well as his return voyage to New York and traveling back to Utah. The diaries then skip to 1900, when Blackburn was serving as bishop in Loa, Utah. The remaining diaries, dated 1901-1908, cover his life in Loa including giving out patriarchal blessings, attending meetings and conferences, and administering to the sick in the course of his work as a healer. The volumes dated 1849-1902 are on the first reel of microfilm, while those dated 1903-1908 are on the second reel.
