Hi,
This diary belongs to Lorenzo Dow Chillson b. 1830 Chilson, Ticonderoga Co., NY. Are you the one with pictures posted on Flickr of the diary? Lorenzo was one of the younger sons of Waters Sherman Chillson III and Abigail Lockwood. The family moved to MN when he was about 6. The W.D. in the diary is his brother William Deal Chillson. I have put together a time line of his movements the best I've been able to work it out. If you want way more details, I'll gladly share. Does that diary cover his 1859 trip to NV?
