He noted that most of its residents were German.  He was distressed with their inability to speak English.  Watson gives details on Pottsville's scenery, comparing it with Rochester.  At Mauch Chunk, Watson observed the way railroad cars were used to move coal.  He sketched the scene as he saw it from his hotel window. A newspaper clipping about Mauch Chunk was placed in the volume.  On the trip home, Watson made remarks about Easton, Pennsylvania. and Morristown.  Before boarding a steamliner for Philadelphia, Watson went to New York City and spent a day at Coney Island.    The manuscript also contains a four page account of a trip to Pottsville on April 4, 1831.  Although it is not very descriptive, Watson commented on the impact of the coal industry on the town. \nWatson was born in Batsto, New Jersey, the son of William and Lucy Fanning Watson.  In 1806 he opened a mercantile house in Philadelphia and was later listed as a bookseller and stationer.  In 1814, Watson accepted a position as cashier of the Bank of Germantown and received a notary public commission.  He remained with the bank until 1848.  He then became secretary-treasurer of the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad, where he remained until 1859.  Watson was also an amateur historian and a pioneer in the use of oral histories and public opinion questionnaires.  He published, among other works, Annals of Philadelphia, Historic Tales of Olden Time Concerning the Settlement and Advancement of New York City and State, and Historic Tales of Olden Time Concerning the Early Settlement  and Progress of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.  In 1812 he married Phebe Barron Crowell and had 7 children."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1829 - D:00 M:00 Y:1831"},{"label":"Creator","value":"John Fanning Watson (1779-1860)"},{"label":"Place","value":"Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania; Pottsville, Pennsylvania"},{"label":"Format","value":["Manuscript"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Diaries","Men-Diaries","Pennsylvania-Description and travel"]},{"label":"Identifier","value":"Collection 189\n58x29.6"},{"label":"Finding Aid","value":"http://findingaid.winterthur.org/html/HTML_Finding_Aids/COL0189.htm"},{"label":"Rights","value":["No Copyright - United States"]},{"label":"Source Collection","value":["Watson Family Papers (Col. 189)"]}],"description":"Summer Tour 1829 to Maunk (Mauch) Chunk &c","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/27166ee7-f70d-413b-a46b-da849cf04fc0/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"0 cover","height":2296,"width":1536,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/f54315e4-6024-4c98-9363-e3ac803425bc/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/f54315e4-6024-4c98-9363-e3ac803425bc","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4,8]}]},"height":2296,"width":1536},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/27166ee7-f70d-413b-a46b-da849cf04fc0/canvas/_1","metadata":[{"label":"Transcription","value":"Summer Tour    1829    To Maunk Chunk &c"}]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/f54315e4-6024-4c98-9363-e3ac803425bc/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/27166ee7-f70d-413b-a46b-da849cf04fc0/canvas/_2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"0 title page","height":2204,"width":1374,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/ae7a5214-24e2-417d-b646-e9f06db7469d/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/ae7a5214-24e2-417d-b646-e9f06db7469d","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4,8]}]},"height":2204,"width":1374},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/27166ee7-f70d-413b-a46b-da849cf04fc0/canvas/_2","metadata":[{"label":"Transcription","value":"“To note & to observe”!
