H. N. Rose travel journal
Manuscripts
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."
