    Alpha Marsh Cary travel diary

    Manuscripts

    Although the diary is unsigned, it is reasonable to believe the diary was written by Alpha Marsh Cary from San Diego. The diary was kept during a journey that she and her parents took from San Diego to the East Coast and back again. Besides visiting family along the way, and in upstate New York, the family traveled through Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and New York City. On their journey home, they visited family in Colorado, stopped at the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, and visited San Francisco. The author details some of the activities she did while on the trip including reading, sewing, playing cards, going to amusement parks and Vaudeville shows, and seeing "moving pictures." The family also toured a medical museum near Washington, DC, led by its head, Dr. Daniel Lamb, and the Johns Hopkins Institute. They traveled by automobiles, train, streetcars, and even a steamer.
