Scope and Contents

Douglass taught school in South Dakota and boarded with his sister Ida Battin.

28 October--"Today ends the first 25 ys of my life and it is a sad thought to me. I have lived a quarter of a century. As I look back over the years that I have lived it seems like ages, as I think of my earlier remembrances .... My aspiration [is] to be a poet, an author, an orator [?], a traveller, a scientist, an artist, a naturalist and a mining [?] expert, through all a first class teacher."
