Manuscripts
The collection contains four diaries and one expense book belonging to Peter C. Wolcott, dating from 1877 to 1895. Wolcott's early diary from 1877 to 1878 covers his time at the General Theological Seminary in New York City. He writes about his classes, school life and friends, as well as comments on religion, sermons heard and given, and baptisms. Volumes 2 and 3 cover Wolcott's time in South Dakota at the Pine Ridge Agency (now Pine Ridge Reservation) among the Oglala Lakota Indians from 1880 to 1882. In these diaries, he writes about his daily activities, indigenous ceremonies, both in English and Lakota, and gives details about baptisms he performed, for both children and adults. Wolcott also mentions the Santee, Dakota, and the Rosebud Sioux, Tasunka Kokipapi (mistakenly known as Young Man Afraid of His Horses), the death of Red Cloud's granddaughter, and physician and Indian Agent at Pine Ridge, Valentine McGillycuddy (1849-1939).
