Scope and Contents

Douglass worked at dinosaur quarry in Jensen, Utah.

19 August 1917--"At home. Came up to quarry to show some visitors around. Read and wrote a little in afternoon. Expected to have a whole day for writing. I think it was anniversary of discovery of quarry toward 8 years ago."
14 December 1917--"For several days I had pains in stomach and had to quit work for part of day. Phoned to Dr. Green and he told me not to take any solid food for several days."
19 July 1918--"I am working around big skull and apparently smaller skeleton. Can't tell what skeleton is yet."
11 November 1918--"Got the news of cessation of fighting in Europe. I let boys do as they wanted to do. Probably the first or beginning of a rowdy holiday."
