Journals and Diaries, 1876-1919
15 items
|

Scope Note:
The 15 journals which survived Bella Golden's determination to
destroy her personal papers, are simply listed in this guide. Rough
notes, taken by the archivist during the processing stage, are
included for the researcher's convenience, they may not be
copied.
The journals have daily entries and cover the weather, theatrical tours
and performances for the year. The New Harmony retirement years recount
activities of the Golden family members, social visits, and social club
events; births, marriages, illnesses and deaths of townspeople.
Occasionally Bella's brief, personal observations reveal a family
difficulty or situation, and even more rarely, her deep, personal
feelings.
