| Author/Creator | Churchill, Stillman, b. 1823 |
| Biographical Note | Pioneer and gold prospector from Massachusetts who later settled in New Hampshire, and worked in a woolen mill and furniture shop. |
| Summary/Description | Handwritten diaries describing the overland journey from Lowell, Massachusetts, to Deer Creek, Wyoming, in 1849. Volume 2 concludes Churchill's journey to California. Churchill traveled with the Sagamore and California Mining and Trading Company. After its dissolution in late June, it is likely that the author joined the Oskaloosa Company. Churchill wrote detailed entries about company politics and disagreements, and also described other companies and emigrants he met on the trail. Diary mentions encounters with several Indian tribes and gives good description of travelling conditions. Bylaws for the Oskaloosa Company are included. |
