註釋"This collection of more than 250 letters written between 1875 and 1881 by a young naval officer and his intended was part of a mass of family memorabilia relating to the officer's naval career lodged in the attic of a family home in a small town in western New York state ... What at first glance seems to be merely the ardent postal pursuit of a young woman living in the next town by a newly fledged young naval officer about to sail off to the far east proves to be much more than a period epistolary romance. The letters are in fact primary source material illuminating the manners, professed morals, aspirations and values of two young people from the Midwest who in themselves reflect the rapidly changing American landscape as it moves from rural farmstead to town and city and beyond. It is U.S. social history quite literally writ small"--Page iii.
