Biographical history
Malinda Florence Bryan came to Alberta from Indiana County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1910, and that same year married Alexander Mead Moore. Mead had come to the province in 1907 and farmed in the Carseland district. The couple had two sons, Robert, 1911-?, and Harry. They attended the very first Calgary Stampede in 1912.
Custodial history
Scope and content

It includes descriptions of laundry, canning, pickling, and the harvest; bucking broncos, rodeo events and the crowds in Calgary during the Stampede; and baby Robert's teething and potty training.
