Scope and Contents

From the Collection: This collection includes four journals documenting the daily life of Thomas K. Jackson. Two small notebooks, each thirty-six pages long, include entries from 1868 and 1869. The first journal includes entries from June to December 1868, while the second documents events between February to April 1869. Two larger journals, approximately 100 pages each, consist of entries from 1866; the first notebook includes entries from January to May, while the second covers the period between June and December. Entries include financial notes, descriptions of the weather, and comments on church services. Jackson also records family news, discussing his relationship with his wife, the development of his young child, and the health of other family members. The collection also includes a red satin ribbon bookmark which reads, "spring meeting 1873," and a small cross stitch piece reading "think of me."
