Found Friday - The Travel Diary, 1922



A small travel diary from 1922
This is a small notebook in which someone kept an account of her travels to eastern United States from Abilene, Kansas, by train, trolley, jitney and buggy.

She wrote on only 32 pages; much of the book is blank. So over the next 8 weeks Found Friday will present her account of a simple trip to visit relatives.
