On the early morning of August 9, 1942, the U.S. Cruiser Vincennes that he was serving aboard was attacked by the Japanese near Savo Island, in the Solomon Archipelago. Lt. Dorris perished that day, but had taken his log and other items pertaining to the Vincennes on a visit to his parents’ home in February 1942, while the ship was in Boston Harbor, and left the manuscripts when he returned to sea. This material provided the basis for the book, A Log of the Vincennes, published in 1947, compiled, supplemented and edited by his father, Prof. Jonathan Truman Dorris.показать меньше
