Archival Adventures: USS Dacotah Engineer's Journal, Part 9, Respite in Key West
It's time for an adventure! This week we return to the journal of Chief Engineer of the USS Dacotah, Philip Peltz. We find Peltz and his crew arriving in Key West as yellow fever continues to plague Union soldiers. Will they make it back North unscathed?
