Scope and Contents

Douglass worked at dinosaur quarry in Jensen, Utah.

2 November 1920--"Legal Holiday. General Election. Roy, York, Golden and I drove down to Jensen and voted, then they took the stage for Vernal. I waited for Mrs. Douglass to come from Vernal where she has been attending Chautaugua meetings. I went across the river and searched among the hills for a time and enjoyed it."
30 November 1920--"A red letter day. We saw what we have looked for for years. In the morning an air ship went over .... It was sailing high and going northeast. It was a thrilling sight and we were considerably excited over it."
21 January 1921--"I returned [from a trip in Uinta Basin] more convinced than ever that there is oil in the basin and where I supposed and that it will be found when one goes at it right."
24 July 1921--"Holiday celebrated Pioneer Day. No one working but me. I was at quarry making signs and showing visitors around. The best display at the quarry for years."
