Sargent's diary records his trip with the Salem Mechanics Mining and Trading Company on the Crescent from Salem to San Francisco by way of Cape Horn and Juan Fernandez Island. He describes the ship's unloading, San Francisco, and mining around Grass Valley and Deer Creek. He returned home as a crew member on the ships Itasca and the Prospero. The journal lists company members and includes sketches of views from the voyages. A note dated 1862 signed by Sargent's wife notes his death in the Civil War.
