Diaries of Allen Frost [microform] : 1874-1901. Reel 1

Manuscripts

Microfilm of nine diary volumes kept by Allen Frost between 1874 and 1901. The first volumes begins as an autobiography, kept while Frost was living at the United Order at Mt. Carmel in Long Valley in 1874. He describes his childhood in England, his journey to New York to live with an uncle, his work in machine shops in New York and as a farmer in Maine, his frequent illnesses, his conversion to Mormonism, his traveling primarily by steamer and rail through New York and Pennsylvania and on to Missouri on his way to Utah in 1861, and his settlement in Bountiful. The volume includes diary entries from 1874-1878 that focus on his life at the United Order at Mt. Carmel and also contains a list of names officiated for in the St. George Temple (January 15, 1878), some genealogy, account notes, a property appraisal, and various notes on the United Order. The diaries dated 1878-1890 primarily recount Frost's daily activities and labors in and around the United Order, St. George, Orderville, and Round Valley, as well as his travels through Utah and Arizona. The diary dated 1890-1893 commences when Frost had moved to Snowflake, Arizona, and the remaining volumes trace his experiences there through his death in 1901. The diary volumes are arranged on three reels of microfilm as follows: Reel 1 - autobiography/diary dated 1874-1878 and diary volumes dated 1878-1880 and 1880-1882; Reel 2 - diary volumes dated 1883-1893; Reel 3 - diary volumes dated 1893-1901.
