Packing to leave...The 13th of October 1800

Having decided last evening to take up the engagement with the Museum of Antiquities, I sent Abernathy to the Air Dock to procure tickets. This task proved almost too much for the dundering old fellow and required no less the two return trips to the ticket counter to make things right. Honestly, if I wasn't so fond of the decrepit imbecile, I would have discharged him years ago.

A new Journal...The 12th of October 18_ _

This day begins with the start of a new journal, as my last journal was lost to me recently. It's was a loss not small in nature, as it contained many sentiments and memories that were to me precious.

Marine's Journal- 1891

Journal Entry- September 1st 1891

Cpl. J. Foust, 1st US Airship Marines, Tarheel Squadron

We saw the airships for the first time today. They are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I’ve seen the big commuter jobs in Cincinnati, the ones that all the rich folks take back and forth to the casinos in Louisville, but I’ve never seen anything like this before. As we stepped out of the barracks into the airship lot, we saw them tethered there like a flock of sleeping… Continue
