Worden, John Lorimer, 1818-1897. John L. Worden papers, 1844-1896 1844-1888.

Title: John L. Worden papers, 1844-1896 1844-1888.

This collection documents the service of John L. Worden on the United States Navy ironclad USS Monitor; his incarceration as a prisoner of war by the Confederate government at Montgomery, Alabama; and his post-Civil War naval career. Contained within the collection are a series of letters from Federal and Confederate officers, federal officials, and John L. Worden's wife, Olivia, negotiating for the release of Worden from a Confederate prison in Montgomery, Alabama. Awards for Worden's role in the Battle of Hampton Roads are contained within the collection, including a subscription list from the citizens of New York showing their support for him financially for his role in the battle. Curiously, a reproduction of a letter from Lieutenant Samuel D. Greene to his mother is found within the collection. Greene writes in great detail of the battle of the Monitor and the Virginia, the journey of the Monitor from New York, and details of the ship. Also included within the collection are a number of letters, invitation, articles, and notes from John Worden's later career, especially his service as a Rear-Admiral. To researchers of the Monitor one of the most significant series of this collection are the photographs of the officers and crew of the ironclad. Aside from officers and members of the crew, this series of 56 photographs depicts the builders and financiers of the Monitor and several members of the crew of the Virginia. Several of the photographs depict the exterior of the Monitor and were produced in July 1862.
