| Abstract: | The Rockwell Papers do not include any diaries per se. While one notebook is identified as a June 25, 1859 diary, there are only three dated entries (8/31, 9/15, and 11/18), none of which begin on the suggested date. Those entries do, however, include granular details of industrial factories and machinery in Belgium and Germany. | ||
