Observations of the climate, political situations, and people encountered during the journey, delving into Lamar's own thoughts on these subjects. Lamar, like other travelers, stopped overnight in private houses and farms, and stayed longer in settled areas such as San Augustine, Nacogdoches, Brazoria, and Velasco. There are several sections dealing specfically with Lamar's views of the Comanches, the "Natives of Texas", and General James Long. The last entry in the journal is dated October 8, 1835, at Brazoria.
