Series II: Diaries, 1868 - 1887
Scope and Contents
The Diaries series includes two diaries of the years 1868 and 1887. During this time, Horace Austin had already established himself in South Dakota’s political picture. The diaries are typical daily registers, usually recounting specific events, weather and daily happenings. The diary of 1868 is re-printed in the Printed Materials series, as “The Year 1868 from the Diary of Horace J. Austin.” It is during the latter part of 1868 that Austin meets Rachael and begins his courtship of her.
