The 1884 diary of Samuel A. T. Walker (also known as "Saturday Sam" Walker), a resident of Forest Grove, Oregon. He was a shoemaker by trade with a significant side business as a fiddler at dances. At the time he was writing this diary, he was the shoemaking instructor at the Forest Grove Indian School. The diary has brief summaries of his daily activities, often just 1-3 sentences long.
