Collection Overview
Detailed diary, 5 June-27 December 1838, kept by Christopher Happoldt of Charleston, S.C., during a trip to Europe as an assistant to John Bachman, Lutheran pastor and naturalist; and a copy of Contributions from the Charleston Museum, Volume XII (1960), containing an edited version of Happoldt's diary and biographies of Happoldt and Bachman. Diary entries describe meetings with European scientists and give an American teenager's perspective on people he met and places he visited.
