Abstract:
Primarily diaries recording Jabez Brown's trip to Indiana to Wisconsin in 1855 and his work as teacher and farmer in Juneau and Sauk counties, as school principal in Ironton and Hillsboro, and as a Quaker lecturer in behalf of the temperance movement. During the last decade of his life, he resided in Madison and he describes briefly some of the civic and university events there. Poems, essays, and lectures by Brown and a few family letters accompany the diaries. Diaries, 1859-1876, contain the family record of Jabez and Sarah Brown and several remedies and cures for wounds and sicknesses.
