10 May 1848 to 1 January 1858. Caroline records in minute detail her travels and the people she interacts with. She and her family pass through Mt. Pisgah, Iowa and Winter Quarters, Nebraska. As they travel to Utah, Caroline trades with the Sioux, Indians. After passing through Ft. Laramie and Fort Bridger, Wyoming, she arrives at Salt Lake City. Caroline and her husband Jonathan are called to the Society Islands (French Polynesia) on a mission. They travel to California through Nevada, see gold mines and almost fight Indians for a stolen horse. Caroline is disgusted by Sacramento's uncleanness, and they ride steamer to San Francisco. After visiting the Saints in San Francisco, the Crosbys board the Jane A. Hersey and arrive at the island of Tubuai. After living on Tubuai for six months, she moves with Jonathan and their son to Tahiti. Caroline finds Tahiti extremely licentious in comparison to Tubuai. Returning to the San Francisco, California area, Jonathan gets a job at the San Jose Mission. Caroline records marriages, dances, and the steady stream of missionaries headed to and from the Pacific. The family moves into Horner's Addition, part of San Francisco where Caroline aids the sick and becomes homesick. Parley P. Pratt, George Q. Cannon and other church leaders pass through the city, and Caroline stays busy with housework. Jonathan is made San Francisco Conference President. She, her family, and many other Bay area saints move to San Bernardino as counseled by church leaders. The Crosbys build a new home and survive an earthquake. The family are called back to Salt Lake City.
