The Harvard Columbus Expedition. 1986.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77072871

Includes family bulletins written by Morison during the Ptarmigian cruise from Quincy, Massachusetts to Kingston, Jamaica, November 14, 1937 to February 8, 1938. This cruise served as a trial run to the formal expedition of 1939-1940. This collection also features bulletins from the Mary Otis cruise, which ran from Miama, Florida to Havana, Cuba, June 4-July 10, 1940, as a sort of 'clean-up' to the formal expedition. An article by Morison, entitled "A Haitian 'Reading Period,'" published in the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, April 21, 1939, is also included. A foreword by Marx explains the history of these three voyages.
