John Albertini taught linguistics, English as a second language, and writing to deaf and hearing students at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, New York, USA. While there, he authored 27 research articles, 17 book chapters, and two books on language learning and the teaching of reading and writing to deaf students. He found that writing in journals (especially dialogue journals) tapped into knowledge and personal experience, and that it promoted reflection and the development of language and writing.

'Albertini has supplemented the transcribed journal with maps and color images depicting some of the places Sam visited. He divided the journal into chapters, each with an introduction and endnotes. The helpful notes define terms and elaborate on some of Sam's comments. The introductions to the chapters set the stage for that particular trip. John Albertini has turned Sam's journal into a book that will appeal to anyone curious about modes of transportation in the past. Those of you holding onto similar documents from generations past may look to this book as an example of how you might share them with a larger audience.'Mary Penner, CGThe New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 154 (October 2023): 316-317
