The journal written by Nancy Poe Ebert covers 57 days of the trip of the str Mollie Ebert from St Louis to Ft Benton in the Montana Territory in 1869. Full of buckle and swash to spare, it was a pure adventure. The duration of a round trip that year was about 100 days. She wrote daily suggesting that other segments of the journal have been lost.
So here is a writer, my great great grandmother, who wrote in her journal every day, who lost half of her output. How could this have happened? Considering everything since, recessions and booms, births and deaths, great loves and great losses, the loss of my double great grandmother’s writing is a minor thing. But for me it is a major thing. I keep thinking about it.
The two segments of the journal transcribed to date are NPE Journal Segment 1 and NPE Journal Segment 2.
