The collection consists of diaries of Carlton Hillyer for 1859, 1861-1865, 1892-1895. The 1859 diary was kept by Hillyer while
a student at the Union Academy (Washington, D.C.) and while the entries mainly document Hillyer's activities and lessons at

trials, and agriculture. The 1861-1865 diary contains writings of Hillyer including essays, poems, and translations of other's
works. The 1892-1895 journal contains notes, probably used for newspapers columns, and clippings from the Augusta Chronicle
of columns written by Issacher Marx.
