Montgomery kept a journal for much of her life, however her childhood journal was burnt for being "silly and dull" (Sept. 21, 1889). The collected papers formed some 10 legal sized ledgers and were given by the author to her son with the wish that they be published. A fascinating record of this remarkable woman. 1985
