Papers, 1782-1818.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122524088

These papers reflect Joshua Barney's activities as an American naval officer during the Revolution, Commodore in the French navy from 1796 to 1802, privateer during the War of 1812, and commander of the Chesapeake flotilla defending Washington, D.C., in 1814. The largest group of papers relate to his service in the French navy and include official papers, accounts, log of La Tribune, and related material. Some papers, possibly saved by Barney from captured ships, consist of circular letters of British postmasters, instructions and documents for the mail packet Amelia, 1793-1812, with information on intelligence-gathering, as well as a few letters for English merchants, 1812. Also commissions, naval signals, testimonials and more.
