The Journals of Robert Hall Tinker, 1870-1901

By: Robert Hall Tinker

This is the second in a series of journals written by Robert Hall Tinker (1836 1924). Volume 2, 1870-1901, covers his marriage to Mary Dorr Manny and their honeymoon in the Hawaiian Islands, his return trip to Europe, and his business enterprise in Colorado. In this volume Mr. Tinker describes life as adventurous but not always cheerful. The journals describe how Robert feels after learning about his mother's passing and the daily agonizing pain inflicted on his sister-in-law Hannah before her illness culminates in her own death. The journals end as Mr. Tinker loses his left foot in a train accident and the tragic death of his wife, Mary, on September 4, 1901.
