Typescript carbon of Charles Gould's diary of an overland journey from Boston to California in 1849. The journal begins with a brief account of the company's trip from Boston, through New York by train, and by steamer to Sandusky, Ohio. Gould describes the countryside and people they encountered during their train trip to Cincinatti and steamer voyage on the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri Rivers. At Independence, Missouri, they disembark with their wagons and goods and begin the overland trek, using the northern route and switching to mule packing in Salt Lake City. The diary records road conditions, scenery, wildlife, and other overland companies.
