The typescripts of the reminiscences of George Collier Remey, rear admiral, U.S.N., were made and edited by his eldest son Charles Mason Remey in 1924, with the original manuscript, written in 1920, being deposited in the Library of Congress. Remey's reminiscences contain genealogical data, records of his travels and service, information on American naval activities in the Civil War, Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection, and Boxer Rebellion in China. Included are the reminiscences of his wife, Mary Josephine Mason Remey, 1845-1919, which present a picture of social life and of many notable persons of the period. There are also photographs, newspaper clippings, and coats of arms.
Another related volume documents the holdings in the Library of Congress of the letters written by Rear Admiral Remey and his wife, with an introduction to the volume written by his former flag secretary Rear Admiral Reginald R. Belknap. The volume also contains a list of libraries that have typescripts of the reminiscences as well.
The third volume is a supplement to the reminiscences also arranged by Remey's son in 1932. |
