This collection is composed of 5 diaries. The first one, written 1861-1863 is a transcript “by A. G. Sexton of New York from Graham Shorthand, old style.” The other diaries, 1875, 1876, 1878, and 1880-1881, are in small notebooks written with indelible pencil. Walker was transferred to Texas in 1867, and those are written from Prairie Lea, Texas. They are records of the weather, sermons preached, and the daily life of a minister on the circuit.
