- Selected letters available in full text.
- |Manuscripts top level| |Civil War Resources|
- The collection contains the personal correspondence of Matthew Fontaine
Maury (b. 1806 d. 1873), oceanographer, Confederate States Navy Commander,
and educator. Letters (bulk 1857-1872; ca. 148 items) written by MFM to
various members of his family, including daughter Diana Fontaine Maury
Corbin, son-in-law Spotswood Wellford Corbin, and wife Ann Herndon Maury.
Other correspondents include Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, and Empress
Carlotta. In addition to personal/domestic matters, topics include Maury's
lecture series, his career at the National Observatory in Washington, D.C.,
Confederate service in Richmond, activities in England, colonization efforts
in Mexico, and his professorship at the Virginia Military Institute. The
papers also include misc. related correspondence (ca.10 items), and printed
material. As this example (Oct 22, 1860) from the collection indicates,
Maury's handwriting is often difficult to decipher.
