BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Gale ancestor Richard Gale (circa 1614-1678) immigrated to the United States from England in the late 1630s and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts. The Gale Family represented here includes and is descended from Isaac and Tamar Goddard Gale, of Royalston, Massachusetts. Isaac was a grandson of Richard Gale. In the 1850s Isaac and Tamar's sons Harlow, Samuel, and Amory moved to Minneapolis; the widowed Tamar eventually joined them there. Shortly after the Civil War Harlow joined Samuel in the firm Gale & Co., real estate dealers and insurance agents. The firm invested in real estate developments, and operated the city market in Minneapolis.

The first few years of his career are not well documented, but after 1859 he began to write more entries in the journal. There are comments on the state and national political scenes, the Rev. Henry M. Nichols, the Civil War, economic opportunities in Minnesota, the development and growth of Minneapolis, construction of the railroads, and land speculation.
