He describes his work in Wyoming and an 1890 trip to Yellowstone National Park. There are also 18 pieces of correspondence from 1919-1940 between Coral Moore and May and Herbert Powell, childhood friends of Coral. The collection also includes diaries (transcripts are also available), reports, sermons, and correspondence relating to Frank's work while in Wyoming and Colorado and for the National Home Missions and the Extension Board. The collection also includes a pastor's register from 1896-1901; and genealogical research material. There are copies of the sermon and memorials presented at Moore's funeral, letters of condolences sent to Coral; miscellaneous photographs; an undated reminiscence of H.C. Herring, a Congregational minister; a partial copy of the "Souls and Saddlebags" manuscript; and miscellaneous other materials and artifacts.
