Diary, typescript mimeograph copy, of an overland journey made by J. D. Breyfogle from Delaware, Ohio to Sacramento, California in 1849.

The diary also includes a page on laws that governed the miners of the forks of the upper Yuba River and information on Breyfogle family history.
Handwritten diary with photocopies. Headley made the overland journey from Cincinnati, Ohio to California in 1849. Brief, frequent entries focus on distances traveled and camping locations. Headley also writes about the large number of deaths in his company and the many graves which he passed. Lists of the amount of gold dust which he dug in California, as well as expenses, are located in the second half of the diary. A copy of a poem and letter are located at the end.
Basically, the present work is a source book for overland emigration in 1846. Many diaries too short to merit book publication together provide the substance for Volume I. This first volume, made up primarily of diaries, but including a few letters written by the diarists, members of their families, and others, is rather particularistic; it invites us to share the experiences of specific overland travelers who may or may not be making the journey together.
