Mrs. H. H. Dayton kept this diary while traveling with her husband, Nate, and Mr. and Mrs. Ben H. Van Levy in 1909. The diary begins in September 1909 with the couples leaving and traveling to Minneapolis, St. Paul, Banff, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Portland, and then south to California. Mrs. Dayton spends 12 pages describing her experiences in San Francisco: the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake; Golden Gate Park; Cliff House; Chinatown; as well as a visit to an opium den. The diary ends after the couples traveled back to the east coast, arriving home in October 1909. The diary also contains several lists: hotels; cities visited; railroads traveled; theaters attended; miles traveled; and states crossed. The names of the travelers are inside the front cover.

The majority of H. N. Rose's journal covers his work as a cook on his journey from upstate New York to Texas. Rose left upstate New York on June 12, 1860 and traveled to Texas through Missouri and Indian Territory with his father, friends, and a herd of sheep. On July 2, 1862, Rose wrote that he was back in upstate Elmira, New York. Starting on page 335 is a travelogue based on the diary entitled "Camp Life in Western Texas," which reverts to Rose's expedition and informs others of necessary preparations. The spine of the journal reads "Private Journal" and "H.N. Rose Detroit."
