Allen, Harold. Diary
Manuscripts
The first section of the collection consists of 43 volumes: two William Allen diaries (1878-1879), one Harold Allen diary (1884), and 40 ranch journals from 1879 to 1918. The first volume, written by William Allen in 1878, begins in Europe and continues in Southern California later in the year. Subsequent volumes document primarily the day-to-day activities of the ranch, from pruning to harvesting and irrigating the vineyards and citrus trees. Some writing indicates that there were Chinese laborers on the ranch, and entries in later volumes may have been recorded by one of William Allen's sons, Walter I. Allen, who ran the ranch in later years.
