Papers, 1876-1879.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20116000

Rodger's diary (31 p.) describing the voyage of the U.S.S. Pensacola in 1876 from the United States to join the Pacific Fleet in Panama, and the movements of the Fleet, 1877-1879. Entries are frequently routine, but there are notations concerning riots against the importation of Chinese into San Francisco, 1877; descriptions of numerous ports in Mexico, Central America, and South America; discussion of a diplomatic incident between the United States and Mexico at Acapulco, 1877; report of the shipwreck of the City of San Francisco, 1877; discussion of Chilean naval operations against the Bolivian coast, 1879; and Rodgers' opinion of the H.M.S. Shah, flagship of Britain's Pacific Fleet. There is also a roughly drawn map of the eastern tip of Oahu Island in the Hawaiian Islands, visited by Rodgers in 1878-1879.
