Scope and Content

From the Collection:

Contains fifty diaries by Maria Fuller covering the years 1869-1870, 1884-1886, 1888, 1890-1921, and 1923-1934. The 1869 and 1870 diaries detail a trip to Washington, D.C., and include a description of her meeting with President and Mrs. Grant, General Sherman and other dignitaries (Mrs. Grant looked "horrid," Fuller writes). She also describes visiting a "colored mission school" while in the city. After 1884, the most common diary entries record the weather and Fuller's social calendar, although she does describe being taken to the local courthouse in 1932 to vote for Herbert Hoover. Almost all of the volumes also include a cash account for the year.
