Diaries of Joseph L. Heywood [microform]: 1855-1857

Manuscripts

Microfilm of Joseph L. Heywood's diaries for the years 1855-1857. The diaries begin with Heywood accompanying Orson Hyde to help settle Carson Valley, Nevada. He then describes a subsequent trip to California; his trip to Washington, D.C. as part of a delegation to petition Congress for Utah statehood; his visits to his family on the east coast; and his journey back to Utah via St. Louis and Independence, Missouri. Of particular interest is Heywood's description of his trial and acquittal on a charge of bribery brought against him by a clerk in the First Auditor's Office of the United States Treasury Department.
