Wednesday the 20th

We raised anchor at 4:00 AM and sailed into the harbor. At 11:30 AM we docked at the pier and disembarked from the ship at 2:00 PM. Then at 4:00 PM we made our way into Castle Garden. We left there at 5:00 PM and went to a hotel where we spent the night.

Thursday the 21st

At 5:00 PM in the afternoon we were ferried across Riverton to America, and at 6:00 PM we made it to the railway station. We started moving at 7:30 PM and we saw numerous things that I've made note of in my diary. I won't make any further mention of it here because it would take up too much space. However, to show that I wasn't just sleeping the entire time I'll make notations of the times as they appear in my diary. 7:35, 7:45, 7:55, 7:56, at 8:40 we stopped and got some water, and as we continued on our journey I could have sworn that I heard someone yelling my name outside the train car. 9:05, 9:20, 9:30, 9:45, 9:50, 9:55. This was the first time we saw open fields in America, but we were going so fast that we couldn't see if they were growing grains or root vegetables. 10:00, 10:30, 10:40. We got hooked to a new locomotive at 10:50 and at 11:05 PM we arrived at a station called

Friday the 22nd

Morning, 5:00 AM, we saw horses and cattle grassing. 5:15, 5:30, 5:55, 6:05, 6:11. At 6:15 we arrived in Baltimore where our train cars were unhooked from the rest of the train. Six mules, walking in a straight line, pulled our car to a house which we then entered at 8:15 and stayed there until 3:20 in the afternoon. In Baltimore I'd say that there are probably as many black and brown people as there are whites. The majority of horses are mules. We left Baltimore at 4:00 PM and headed West. 4:45, 4:50. At 4:55 we arrived at a station called Harper's Ferry. At 7:05 we drove directly into the setting sun. 7:45, 8:00, 8:05, 8:10. There must have been coal mins nearby because we noticed a number of long lines of train cars filled with coal. 8:28, 8:30, 8:35, 8:40, 8:45, we met three different trains. 8:47, 8:49, stopped by a town. 9:11, 9:25, we met another five trains in a spot with two sets of tracks. 9:35, 9:37, 9:39, 9:40, 9:43, 9:55. At 10:00 we stopped at a station and took on water. 10:10, 10:12, 10:15, 10:19, 10:21, 10:30, 10:32, 10:36, 10:42, 10:50. At 10:58 we drove through some mountains and the train cars swayed from right to left every minute or so. 11:06, 11:07, 11:15, 11:20, 11:30,
