An ledger book with tipped-in illustrative material and ephemera documenting twenty different recreational outings in the area of New York City during the late 1880s and early 1890s by a group of young men. Variously identified as the Sagamore Club or the Wayandance Club, the group typically took to the waters of Long Island Sound aboard hired yachts during warmer weather; in the fall and winter they took pedestrian and hiking outings and carriage rides. The book is illustrated with clippings, pencil and ink drawings, watercolors, and a great many vernacular photographic prints. The compiler of the volume is identified as Thomas Norton, Jr.,but little else is known about him. The whimsical nature of Norton's prose (and poetry) is demonstrated by the volume's title: "A True account of the wanderings of Divers Persons on Land and sea and of the miseries, the privations, and the safe return of those Wanderers."
