a file of unidentified writings that may be Custer's. Material types include published and unpublished articles and book reviews, speeches, lecture notes, story idea notes, and unidentified writings. |

BOX 12-18 | Subject File, 1920-1986 | ||||||||||||
The Subject File gathers together topical material that falls outside the
purview of the other series. Family papers and material from Custer's
student days and youth form an important part of the subject file as do
Custer's financial records. After leaving the navy, Custer ventured into the
business world, taking a management job at the Drackett Company in
Cincinnati, Ohio. He only stayed one year, apparently discovering he
preferred academia to a career in business. In 1958, he took an
administrative job at Columbia University. He had previously worked at
Princeton University during his final years in the navy. Files for his
teaching at Princeton and his graduate studies at Georgetown University are
in the Subject File.Very little in the collection dates from after 1958 when
he began working at Columbia. The series also includes topical material
about naval aviation, including an unpublished memoir written by naval
aviator E. F. Johnson covering the very beginnings of naval aviation. Material types include correspondence, writings, financial records, clippings, scrapbooks, reports, and printed matter. |

The United States Navy series includes official navy correspondence and
documents from Custer's time as a midshipman to his retirement as a rear
admiral in 1957. Many of the files are organized by duty station, be it on
ships (Croatan, Houston, Lexington, Norton
Sound) or shore duty (Tenth Naval District Headquarters, San
Juan, Puerto Rico; U.S. Naval Air Station, Floyd Bennett Field; naval
attaché, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). Printed and mimeographed training manuals
are organized by title. Material from Custer's work with the Strauss
Commission on Incentive, Hazardous Duty, and Special Pays is in this
series. Material types include correspondence and memoranda, official navy orders, navy training material, regulations, manuals, United States Navy publications, aviator flight log books, scrapbooks, reports, navy awards, citations, medical records, and reprimands. |
