Folder 1

Scope and Content From the Collection: This small collection contains one item, the diary kept by Henry Lazelle during a major military campaign against the Apache Indians from 20 April 1857 to 13 June 1857. The U.S. Army was divided into two columns under the general command of Colonel Benjamin L.E. Bonneville. The diary ends before any major engagements with the Indians, but it is filled with Lazelles impressions of the land and culture of the Southwest.
