Manuscripts
An illustrated journal documenting an automobile trip, in a 1918 Ford, from Massachusetts to Montana and back, in the summer of 1927, made by four individuals who appear to have been members of the same family. It is entitled "Big Chief and Yma go atrailing with nineteen eighteen. Dedicated to the friends who could not go." They met numerous other motor travelers during their trip and wrote extensively about their destinations including Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Montana, and Canada. The writer includes pointed comments about landscapes, roads, communities, and social life and customs throughout the fifteen American states and Canadian provinces the travelers visited. The author or authors are unidentified, though they refer to themselves as "Big Chief," "Yma," Mother," and "Cal." They mention in detail a visit to the Menomonie Reservation, Niagara Falls, and a meeting with photographer L.A. Huffman. The author(s) make negatives comments about people speaking Russian in the Midwest. The volume contains 11 photographs and appears to be homemade.
