http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/99997576

This collection consists of the diaries of George Galphin Nowlan MacDonnell (G.G.N. MacDonnell) from 1859 through 1905. Additionally, the collection contains two diaries of his mother, Ann Elizabeth Nowlan MacDonnell (A.E.N. MacDonnell), dating from 1877-1879. Since George G.N. MacDonnell traveled as a preacher, the location from which the diaries were written changes with some frequency. If known, the location is noted in the collection inventory. The Georgia towns from which he wrote include: Lumpkin, Savannah, Macon, Americus, Albany, Columbus, [Thomasville], Waycross, Dawson, and Statesboro. Many of the George G.N. MacDonnell's diaries include a personal financial ledger in the back of the diary. The family name is also commonly spelled "MacDonell," rather than "MacDonnell."
