Facsimile of Henry Harris Cluff's autobiography, begun in 1908 and which covers the years from the 1850s through 1912. Includes an account of his travels westward to Provo, Utah, in 1850; his mission to England and Scotland in the 1860s; his various missions to Hawaii from 1869 to 1882, including references to Hawaiian legislature elections; rules of the Provo United Order; Cluff's trip through California in 1876; and a variety of entries on the founding of Brigham Young Academy (Brigham Young University). The last entry, dated 1912, includes brief references to the sinking of the Titanic and the First Balkan War. Appears to be a transcript (in Cluff's hand) of previously kept diaries. Also includes transcriptions of letters Cluff received from Mormon Church leaders and from his first wife, Margaret Ann Foster, as well as transcriptions of letters sent by Cluff.
