The journal describes an overland trip from Mendon, Michigan to Virginia City, Montana and the return trip. Voorhees traveled along the Bozeman Trail and Bridger's Road. The journal has been reversed and three entries for July and August 1864 were added. There is a photoprint of Voorhees in the diary.
