Hull, Isaac, 1773-1843. Papers, 1810-1842.

Title: Papers, 1810-1842.

This is the most extensive collection of documents relative to the career of Isaac Hull and his many years service in the U.S. Navy. The papers span the years 1810 to 1842 and include letters and letter-books, ledgers and account books, log books and ships papers, legal records and official reports, meteorological observations and sundry printed matter. Some of the more interesting documents were published in Commodore Hull: Papers of Isaac Hull (Boston, 1929). The bulk of the collection falls around 1840, during his period of service in the Mediterranean, when he had command of "Ohio," "Cyane," "Brandywine" and "Preble." Of great importance are the many letters from officials in Washington and U.S. consuls overseas, including William Tudor, Obadiah Rich and Hosea Sprague, which give a good account of political and military conditions at home and abroad. The papers, in sum, present a vivid picture of the development of the U.S. Navy during a critical period, beset by frequently hostile European forces and by suspicious bureaucrats in Washington, yet strengthened by the character, resolve and the organizational abilities of clear-minded sailors such as Commodore Hull. Also included in the collection are William Miller's account of the battle of Ayacucho (1825) and Bernardo O'Higgins' "To the virtuous inhabitants of the Archipelago of Chiloe" (1826).
