| 2014.580.3073 | "Commodore Preble." |
|
| "A significant article by Colonel Bigelow in last Sunday's Telegram retold the story of Maine's famous Commodore Preble whom we have too slightly honored.

Bigelow finds that this fighting spirit was the keynote of the Preble character and that it was of inestimable importance in the war of 1812 when the Navy alone preserved the independence of the feeble Nation. |
