Abraham O. Smoot journal, from Great SL City to Mo River

Photocopy of the hand-written journal of Abraham Owen Smoot. This small journal contains three separate records. The first part describes Smoot's journey to St. Louis, Missouri, to purchase supplies for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The second part has records of the Salt Lake City Mayor's Court, over which Abraham Owen Smoot presided, dating from November 1858 to June 1859. The records describe fines levied for public disturbances, drunkenness, and other minor crimes committed in Salt Lake City. The final item in the journal is a genealogical record of marriages, births and deaths in the Abraham Owen Smoot's family. The main body of the genealogical record was written in 1865, and additional vital records were recorded over the following years to 1900.
