    Daniel C. White diaries

    Manuscripts

    Three diaries kept by Daniel C. White between 1854 and 1864. The first diary, dated 1854-1858, traces White's overland journey from Indiana to California with his friend William V. Rinehart. It includes descriptions of Pawnee and Sioux Indians, crossing the Platte River, and passing by Chimney Rock, Laramie Peak, Devils Gate, and Salt Lake City. It also records White's time mining in and around Sacramento and Marysville, California, and includes some accounting notes, various poetry or song lyrics, and a description of a "hell of a flogging" that White gave to a "Chinaman" who he caught stealing. The second diary is dated 1858-1859, and records White's travels and mining experiences between Sucker Creek, Oregon, and Crescent City, California, as well as some poems and notes. The final diary, dated August-October, 1864, was kept while White was serving with the Union Army in Georgia during the Civil War. It begins while he was near the Chattahoochee River , and he also spends a great deal of time near Owl Rock Church. The diary describes various military engagements and movements, including those near Atlanta. The diary ends when White had apparently been discharged and was near Louisville.

    Stewart Edward White photograph collection​

    Visual Materials

    A collection of approximately 1,800 photographs, almost all taken by Stewart Edward White during his outdoor recreational travels in Africa, the United States, and Canada. The prints are primarily 3 x 5 inches or smaller, with a few larger, mounted photographs. Many have handwritten captions in White's hand on the back, along with chapter or article numbers. The Africa photographs depict White and others on safari, posing with killed animals, as well as African men and women and natural scenery. Some of these images were used in the following books by White: The Land of Footprints (1912), African Camp Fires (1913), The Rediscovered Country (1915), and Lions in the Path (1926). Other photographs depict White in the army at Camp Kearny, San Diego; the Bohemian Grove, California and participants; fishing and boating in the Sierras, and a photograph of Native Americans in Yosemite. The second series consists of film stills from two movies based on White's novels: Call of the North (1921) and The Leopard Woman (1920).
