  • Each one of Horace Kephart’s journals is preceded by a Table of Contents. Because these are on paper that is different from the journal and are typed on a different typewriter, these contents may not have been written by Horace Kephart. Most likely, these Tables of Contents were created sometime after Kephart’s death, perhaps when the collection was donated to Hunter Library.
