Excerpt from The Journal of James Akin Jr.: June 1, 1919 This is the first of a series of historical studies, or leaflets, to be published by the University of Oklahoma. These studies are to consist of original documents of western and south-western history, and are to be issued at regular intervals in the future. In this document the original text has been preserved throughout. Notes are added when it has seemed necessary to explain statements, but the spelling, punctuation, and capitalization are given just as they appear in the journal itself. The editor wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Mr. P. C. Slack of Edmond, Oklahoma, who first told him of the manuscript and through whose agency it was obtained, and to Mrs. D. H. Hartley of Hillsboro, Iowa, for her courtesy in lending this journal, which she justly prizes very highly. He also desires to express his thanks to Professor Lyman P. Wilson of the University of Oklahoma for assistance rendered in photographing the specimen pages herein given, and to two of the editor's own students, Mr. Lanson D. Mitchell, and Mr. Morris L. Wardell, for helping to trace on the map the route followed by James Akin and his party. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
