Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. On offer is a fine hardcover notebook written by a United States Navy chaplain following World War Two. Included as well are a number of pieces of ephemera and legal documents, such as marriage licenses, an invitation to the wedding of the daughter of a US Navy Admira…l, and various newspaper clippings. The author of the volume is Reverend Calvin H. Elliott, an Episcopalian minister and US Navy chaplain who served immediately after WWII. Not only does this detailed notebook provide insight into the thoughts of this Navy chaplain and his worldview, it also offers concrete and valuable genealogical information for those researching family connections within the military community. Elliott?s journal is a line-noted book in which he recorded events between May 1946 and November 1957, with the bulk of entries taking place between 1948 and 1953. Inside, Elliott provides a fascinating glimpse into his life and service. He reflects on topics ranging from why he should obey orders from the Navy, to the purposeless nature of attending Columbia University in New York, to the comfort found in the belief in a spiritual reality. The journal begins with the chaplain taking his oath in New York City, and goes on to recount brief trips to Los Angeles and Washington DC, getting his vaccinations, travelling to Hawaii and seeing Pearl Harbour, and then moving onward to the Marshall Islands, Guam, and Shanghai. Many entries over the years detail births and baptisms, marriages and funerals within the military communities that he served. "Took oath May 21, 1946 NYC."
