Martineau was a clerk and surveyor by trade, surveying for governments, the LDS Church, and for private companies (including several railroads), and individuals.

The diary begins with a brief autobiography, family biography and genealogy, and then continues with fairly regular entries starting about Jan. The entries were written by the author in stages throughout his life, presumably working from a rough copy, which is now lost and with the last few pages written in another hand.
