This is a small red leather-bound field notebook from 1909, labeled on the front cover "1909 / Montana / Washington / Oregon." It contains handwritten field notes recording plant and animal species observations made during a naturalist's journey through Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon between August and October 1909. The notes are written on grid paper in ink, organized by date and location. The following is a transcription of all readable text throughout the notebook:
