> Where is LL Langstroth's journal?
It is in the Mann Library. I do not think that Langstroth's original
manuscript has been digitized. I doubt it ever will be. Langstroth
should have been a physician, his handwriting is illegible! He suffered
from what I suspect may have been bipolar disease, diagnosed as
"maladies of the brain" in the mid-1860s. At times his writings were in
reverse/mirror image, something also done by DaVinci (although DaVinci
did it on purpose). I was privileged to see and read Langstroth's
original manuscript at the Eastern Apicultural Society conference in
2002. Well, to say I "read" it is a stretch at best, his handwriting
was atrocious! I believe Langstroth's wife had to decipher the original
journal. Anyway, Mike will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think
Langstroth's original manuscript has been digitized.
