The fonds consists of a copy of Winright Lawson Warren's diary. It begins the day he left Dawson City, Yukon, May 11, 1900 and recounts his trip to Nome, Alaska and on to Chicago, Illinois.

At Nome, Warren bought passage on a large steamer the "Aberdeen" to take him to Seattle. He writes about life aboard the ship, his fellow passengers, and the water/weather conditions.
