Manuscripts
Diary by an unnamed female author detailing daily life during her stay in Southern California. It includes descriptions of the rail trip from the East Coast to Los Angeles, a journey with her mother to the Southwest that lasted several months, and numerous entries about the family's automobiles. These include: a traffic collision with a streetcar, a major traffic jam en route to the Pasadena Rose Parade, parking and speeding tickets, auto maintenance, and various excursions with "the machine." An interesting glimpse into the early days of America's ongoing love affair with automobile travel.
