U.S.S. Iroquois journal, 1868 Apr 26-1869 Sep 10
Scope and Contents
Daily journal maintained by Alfred T. Mahan while serving aboard the U.S.S. Iroquois on its tour of East Asia. In this journal, Mahan set down his personal rules of conduct which included limits on how much to drink, when to pray, and how much money to save monthly. He would then assess how well he adhered to his self-imposed rules, his work performance, and his relationships with his shipmates.
These rules can be found on the inside cover of this volume.
