Abstract

Manuscript diary of Fones Wilbur, who was born in New York in 1807 and later emigrated to Oregon, where he was a farmer, carpenter, businessman, schoolteacher, and temperance activist in the Silverton, Oregon, area. Entries document his activities, trips to nearby communities, purchases, prices, and weather details, as well as information about the lives of his neighbors, and provide insight into the interdependence of early emigrants to Oregon.

Dates: 1855-1866
