Description: This small collection contains four manuscript diaries created by Frederick Stanton Perkins (1832-1899), who lived in Burlington, Wisconsin. Perkins’ diaries are dated 1889, 1890, 1894, and 1899-1900 and contain hand-written notes about many things, such as the addresses of friends and family, the weather, farming, family life, and financial accounts. However, thebulk of his entries relate to his massive collection of ancient objects and chronicle meetings with fellow collectors and potential buyers, such as the Smithsonian Institution. A telling note from January 1, 1889 reads, "I have to sell 22,000 flint and stone implements (relics)... also 3 of shell, 3 of lead, 388 of copper (including 79 beads). All found in Wisconsin." Inventories like these shed light on the content of his collection, pre-dispersal, as well as references to the artifacts he was painting.

Extent:1 volume, 24 pages
Description: Thin notebook with soft paper cover, containing multiple word lists of Ho-Chunk and English, some very brief. The language is not mentioned explicitly as Ho-Chunk in the notebook itself, but the identification has been confirmed through comparison with other Ho-Chunk language information. The writer (or writers) of the lists are unidentifed, as are names of Ho-Chunk speakers, if different from the writer(s). The first page contain some English names in faint pencil writing that are difficult to fully make out, and their relationship to the contents of the notebook are unclear. No location or date information is included in the notebook. It is estimated to be from the Wisconsin area, circa the 1850s.
