Perry, Oliver H.
Papers, 1777-1819
This collection consists of correspondence to Perry from various officers in the U. S. Navy Department and, more significantly, from Perry to the Navy Department. Of special interest are communications related to the building of the Erie Squadron and letters from various cruises upon which Perry embarked. Content of the letters covers a wide range of topics: commissions, recommendations, officers lists, requisition and transfer requests, logistic concerns, strategy, personnel related material (e.g., courts martial), sailing orders, and private letters. The miscellaneous material pertains mostly to the Battle of Lake Erie. For the nautical researcher, there is a souvenir program commemorating the raising and refitting of USS Niagara, which had lain on the bottom of Lake Erie for some eighty years. The pamphlets written by Usher Parsons relate his remembrances of the Battle of Lake Erie. Also included is a pamphlet relating the little-known scandal concerning Perry and Captain Jesse Elliot, Commander, USS Niagara.
