3 SCOPE AND CONTENT The collection contains one volume of Preble family genealogy. Included in this volume are family charts, chronologies, autographs, newspaper clipping of obituaries and other family news, several photographs, a self-portrait of George Henry Preble, and representations of the Preble Family coat of arms. The volume also contains four letters from Jedidiah 3 Preble, three of which were written in 1780 to his daughter (Statira) and one which Jedidiah wrote in 1793 asking Stephen Longfellow to act as a pallbearer at his wife s funeral. The majority of the collection consists of ships journals most from ships upon which George Henry Preble sailed. These journals contain such things as daily log entries, ships procedures, lists of ports visited, lists of armament, sketches, etc. All of the journals contain a list of officers attached to the ship, with all but the USS Pensacola containing watch bills and quarter bills listing the men on board. The journals for the USS St. Louis, the USS Katahdin, and the USS State of Georgia contain complete descriptive lists of all the sailors on board. A number of items in the collection consist of naval documents, including correspondence, acts, and general orders. Certain volumes are dedicated to the orders of a single officer John Dahlgren, in one case, and David Porter in another. Accounts of an 1839 court martial case against Preble are included. George Henry Preble s interest in naval matters is also represented in this collection by his research notes on the Boston Navy Yard and the history of steam navigation. In each case, these notes were intended to be the basis for a book, and they contain both hand-written passages and clippings. The history of the Boston Navy Yard includes seven albumen print photographs of the yard. Other topics of research for Preble which are represented in the collection are the history of the American flag, and the study of spherics and nautical astronomy. The volume on spherics is a transcription from Professor David McClure s notes for a class he was teaching at the U.S. Naval Academy from Of particular interest is the volume entitled George Preble in the War. This volume covers his activities in the Navy during the Civil War, and offers insight into such topics as naval involvement in the war, Southern reactions to the appearance of the ships, emotions among the enlisted men, etc. 3
