19th > 20th C. Railroad Agent's/Ticket Agent/Postmaster Journal - Boston & Maine, Sioux City & Northern. From the 1890's through his retirement due to illness in 1916, Mr. J.D. Graham made daily notations in this journal. Most often, the lone agent while out west, and later as the Postmaster in New England. It reads like an interesting and sometimes lonely story. He notes all the action that happened on any particular day in his train station. Animals, freight, money, food - from his station in Merrill IA until he goes to work for the Boston & Maine in NH. In old leather covers, the front board is loose, a few of the first pages loose as well (incl. add'l loose papers not from this journal), the rest all intact (though w/no spine leather). The paper is thin, tanned, no tears except some corners/edges, notations on one side of the page only. 200+ pages written. Feel free to email for more information and pics, thank you.
