The chronicles include whaling captains, mariners lost at sea, merchants, writers, artists, educators, Civil War veterans and prisoners.

There is intricate mapping of the property with full maps and reference by chronicle. There is an index by name and by lot number. Numerous accounts have the subject's own voice or a contemporary of the individual recounting the narrative.
