Charles J. Ingles journals, 1884-1897.

The journals (1,436 pages), kept by Ingles while working for the St. Paul (Minn.) Public Library and the Great Northern Railway Company, are rich in detail on the social and cultural history of St. Paul. He discusses theaters, civic events and celebrations, social activities, services at Christ Episcopal and other churches, work routines at the library (1880s), and his travels throughout the United States as a railroad claims investigator (1890s). Mounted in the journals are programs and clippings on local churches and on civic events, especially the St. Paul Winter Carnival.
