Journal kept by Benjamin Lyon, 1820-1824.

Scope and content

Journal kept by Benjamin Lyon, 1820-1824. Entries on cartmaking, fieldwork and carpentry including the construction of the second Mount Lebanon meetinghouse. A partially obliterated inscription on the title page, “A Journal kept by [?] Wm Trip,” has erroneously led to the identification of this journal as the "William Trip Journal." William Trip was a boy in Lyon's care who may have kept the journal for Lyon after April, 1821.
