Excerpt from From Reefer to Rear-Admiral: Reminiscences and Journal Jottings of Nearly Half a Century of Naval Life
He had preserved copious notes of his service ashore and afloat, in journals and in his letters home, covering his entire career, and from time to time had fully outlined his sketches of particular matters of interest, thus having all his material well in hand.

Excerpt from From Reefer to Rear-Admiral: Reminiscences and Journal Jottings of Nearly Half a Century of Naval Life
For several years prior to the last illness of my father, Rear-Admiral Benjamin F. Sands, the members of our family had urged him to write out his recollections of his naval life, having often enjoyed listening to his descriptions of the incidents of his various cruises.
He had preserved copious notes of his service ashore and afloat, in journals and in his letters home, covering his entire career, and from time to time had fully outlined his sketches of particular matters of interest, thus having all his material well in hand.
It was, however, only when confined to the house, in 1881, that he yielded to our requests and entered upon the work.
In thus living over his life and jotting down incidents at first intended only to entertain and instruct the members of his family, he became more and more interested in his narrative, and with his excellent memory of dates, persons and incidents, supplemented by occasional references to the log-books of the many vessels upon which he had served, his narrative grew into somewhat of a history, though but simply told, of those days of naval service about which so little is known to the readers of to-day.
