Journal, 1883-1885
Scope and Contents
The Charles Cooley Papers consist of a journal written c. 1883-1885. The primary portion of the journal (p. 1-72) chiefly chronicles Cooley’s daily life occurrences as a farmer in Dakota territory (modern day South Dakota). The last pages of the journal (p. 91-107) contain notes pertaining to farming loads, finances, book lists, and medicinal remedy recipes. In addition to the journal, included within the collection are supplemental materials consisting of a check, business card for a law firm with which the author was employed, and some schoolwork which is likely from his time at the University of Michigan. The journal concludes around the time Cooley retires from farming in order to begin his career as the County Superintendent of Davison County schools.
