Abstract
Typed translations (49 leaves and 83 leaves) of Mr. Lueg's 1867 diary documenting a 77-member wagon train journey, organized by a Capt. P.B. Davy, from St. Cloud, Minn. to Helena, Mont. and then on to Portland, Ore., going through North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. The route in North Dakota included stops at forts Abercrombie, Ransom, Stevenson, Berthold, and Buford. There is also a partial list of the persons in the party. Also in the collection are two articles based on the diary by C.S. Kingston and Maude S. Tronslin. The translation from the German original was made by W.J. Kommers of Spokane, Wash.
