These journal reproductions can be traced back to Florence, Italy, where artisans supplied crusaders in the 1200's. The books arrived in America with the pilgrims and were used as travel diaries and record books. They could be found in the saddle bags of the Pony Express and in the kits of Civil War officers. Today you can record your travels, thoughts, dreams, desires, visions, sketches or photos to create an heirloom for you and your family. The ideal gift for your favorite artist, naturalist or journal writer.
