This series consists of diary entries, both in bound volumes and on loose pages, and related materials. Many of the diary entries relate to journeys that Burg undertook, particularly on rivers in the United States and Canada. Some volumes also contain notes and clippings, and one also contains copied passages from Erich Maria Remarque's novels and from a Will Rogers radio program. This series also holds typescript copies of diaries by Haldane "Buzz" Halstrom and Willis Johnson, who traveled with Burg on the Green River and Colorado River in 1938.
