Lot of 8: multiple diaries, books and pamphlets hand written in a day-to-day account of Garfield`s life. The first 4 accounts are written in Tailor Made Clothing Co. booklets (tiny-measure 5.5x2.5) on the blank pages within, beginning in January of 1907. They progress through to 1908, when he graduates to a diary book. The successive books are of this type, except various sizes. These progress through 1911, 1914, culminating in 1926. The entries are simple and direct, illustrating everyday life in farming, horse cattle ranching work, social life, the weather, and so on. These are worn with age, but overall in good condition, and very legible. A facinating look into early 1900`s life. Golconda was founded on the mining of gold, silver, copper and lead.Maish Collection HKA#62334
