The journal records the 1849 trip from Iowa to California by a company under Presley Saunders. They went by boat from Burlington to St. Louis, St. Joseph, and overland by Sublette's Cutoff, Fort Hall, the Humboldt, Carson River, Hangtown, and the mines. The diary ends at the mines, but while traveling home on the ship Falcon in 1851, he copied entries for November and December 1849 from J. Grantham's diary, summarized events from his life in the mines, and made notes on his sea voyage. The journal is accompanied by a copy photograph of a charcoal portrait of Tiffany.
