Diaries of Mai Richie Reed, 1907-1908.

Reed kept these diaries during two separate trips to the American southwest. They give a detailed description of Reed's experience traveling through New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Reed, and the friends with whom she was traveling, visited Acoma, Isleta Pueblo (where they witnessed a dance ceremony), and Laguna in New Mexico; Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon in Arizona; and La Jolla, San Diego, Pasadena, and the San Gabriel Mission in California. The diaries are illustrated with photographs from the trips and include Reed and her friends, the southwest landscape, the places she visited, and the Hopi, Navajo, and Isleta Indians (most of the photographs are labeled by Reed).
