Miss Pugsley entitled her diary: "Stepping Westward: The Log of a Spinster's Transcontinental Trip." The album opens with Pugsley leaving Boston via train and then traveling across New York, through Niagara and Detroit, to Chicago and then across the plains of Kansas to New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington State, and back via Canada. The album is illustrated with 60 photographs and over 40 postcards (most of which are captioned and identified). Pugsley highlights various parts of her trips including: the Harvey Museum in Albuquerque, Inscription Rock, the Grand Canyon, Hopi Indians, Los Angeles, Pasadena, the San Gabriel Mission, the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice, Hollywood, the Mission Inn in Riverside, San Francisco, Yosemite, Mt. Hood, Seattle, and Victoria (British Columbia). Much of her trip was done via automobile. A modern transcription accompanies the diary.
