| Abstract | These pages from Elmer Nelson's diary describe a hunting trip he took with his brothers, their father and their dog, Sparks. Setting off into the mountains on Monday morning they hunt and trap small game. At camp that night Elmer Nelson and Walter Nelson each write up an account of the day. On Tuesday, they continue hunting as they summit Blood Mountain and Signal Pole Mountain. These appear to be pages from a longer diary as the text ends mid-sentence at the bottom of page four. |
