She was a longtime tour guide and volunteer with Mare Island Historic Park Foundation. Discovery of the aging, neglected cemetery at Mare Island offered the perfect opportunity to combine a life-long interest in all things historical with an undeniable attraction to old burial grounds.

Joyce Giles (co-author) lives in Vallejo, California, a former employee of Mare Island Naval Shipyard, and long time volunteer with Mare Island Historic Park Foundation as tour guide, docent, and manager of Mare Island Museum. She assisted Peggy in the first publication about the cemetery and after several years of seeing the cemetery in neglected stage, wanted to update the previous publication to include Section A (officer burials), and also an afterward showing the rebirth with new irrigation, fencing, cleaned tombstones, and clean up after the fires of 2019, and also an index.
Download or read book Mare Island Cemetery written by Peggy O'Drain and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-07-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author brings to life the stories beneath the tombstones of one of the oldest naval cemeteries in the United States. While the first burial was in 1856, the cemetery was not declared a naval cemetery until 1858, and was closed in 1921, with a few burials of officers allowed later by pre-arrangement. These stories shared by the author do not only offer glimpses of individual lives during a specific phase of American history but offer insight into an often turbulent, shifting time of change in naval history during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
