This manuscript is an account of early California history and in particular the Mission at San José. Bishop writes in poetic terms about the beauty of early California, and traces the origins of the Mission back to Junípero Serra. Of the site of the Mission, which he describes in great detail, Bishop writes: "If this was not an earthly paradise, then such could not be found on the face of the globe." Bishop not only describes the Mission physically, but also the general routine of daily life there in the days following its founding in 1776.

Microfilm of Lemuel Hardison Redd's brief autobiography, recorded at White Pine, Nevada, sometime after 1891. Redd briefly describes his early life and journey to Utah, but mainly focuses on his life in Utah after 1850. He describes settling in Spanish Fork, where his father helped build the first saw mill (it was destroyed during the Walker War in 1853), and briefly describes his experiences during the Walker War, his marriage, his mission to Nevada, his participation in the Utah War, and helping colonize New Harmony as part of the Dixie Mission in 1862. Redd also mentions buying the John D. Lee homestead in 1870, helping establish the United Order at Harmony, and moving to San Juan County and later Mexico to avoid polygamy charges. The account also describes in some detail the various activities of Redd's children.
