- From the Colton Storm catalogue: "The text comprises one of McPherson's diaries covering his overland journey from Oregon, Ogle County, Illinois, to Downieville, California, in the spring of 1859, by way of Fort Kearney, Fort Laramie, the Sweet Water, Sublette's Cut-off, Lawson's Meadows, Honey Lake Valley etc. The original intention was to head for Pike's Peak, but discouraging news sent the party to California instead."
