The collection is a diary, 11 October 1832-9 May 1833, of Samuel Cram Jackson, covering the period of his stay in Charleston, Columbia, Camden, and Salem, S.C. Jackson, who had journeyed south for his health, commented on many topics, including the nullification controversy, slavery, and political and social conditions in South Carolina. He knew many prominent men, among them participants in the nullification debate, including William Drayton (1766-1846), Robert Y. Hayne (1791-1839), and Joel R. Poinsett (1779-1851); and others, including reformer Thomas S. Grimke (1786-1834); missionary J. W. Barr (1802-1832); judge Henry W. De Saussure (1764-1839); Irish artist William Leigh (1811-1833); planter and Democratic congressman Robert Witherspoon (1767-1837); and president of the College of Charleston Jasper Adams (1793-1841). All of these men are mentioned in the diary, as are other South Carolina politicians, educators, and clergymen. During his travels, Jackson also served for a short time as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Columbia.
