Philetus W. Norris journals
Manuscripts
A manuscript originally bound in three volumes; volume I covers the years 1870 to 1875, volume II 1877 to 1878, and volume III 1876 to 1894. Volume I is made up of Norris' original printed letters to Michigan papers pasted down on paper sheets, with extensive additions, corrections, and notes; Norris was revising this material to publish in book form. Volume II contains another trip to the west in 1877 and volume III contains miscellaneous material which Norris intended to incorporate into his book. The volumes include interesting details and reports of the state of the west at that time, and also mention the battlefield of General George A. Custer and Yellowstone National Park; volume III contains an autograph map of the general area of the park, dated 1894. The pages were removed from the original damaged boards by the Huntington Conservation Department and placed in folders and three boxes; the original boards were retained and kept with the disbound material.
