The journal describes life on board ship, the journey around the Horn, and stops in Valparaiso and St. Catherine. Souther chronicles their voyage up the Sacramento River to Marysville, describes the river valley, and records mining at Long Bar on the Feather River in 1850-51. He describes building a cabin, investing in other mines, and prospecting in the surrounding area. The journal ends with a brief description of Henry Souther's voyage home in 1851.
