http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/41150180

Seven notebooks and one bank book kept by Admiral Thomas B. Howard, U.S.N., mostly while he was a junior officer on sea duty. Most of the entries were made aboard ships including the U.S.S. CHARLESTON, the U.S.S. CONCORD, and the U.S.S. CHESAPEAKE. The entries concern the "Filipino Campaign" of 1899, positions at sea, officers' daily merit reports, Howitzer drill, lifeboat crews, preparations for sea, observations of local color in European and Caribbean ports, family history and reminiscences about General U.S. Grant, and other officials and colleagues. Also included are a series of anecdotes, "International Coon Hunt," and a pencil sketch of an old salt with a bottle.
