""Back To Hampton Roads"" is a historical account of the United States Atlantic Fleet's cruise from San Francisco to Hampton Roads, Virginia, which took place from July 7, 1908, to February 22, 1909. The book, written by Franklin Matthews and published in 1909, provides a detailed description of the fleet's journey, including the various ports of call, the events and ceremonies that took place, and the experiences of the sailors and officers on board the ships. Matthews also provides insights into the political and diplomatic significance of the cruise, as it was intended to showcase American naval power and promote goodwill with foreign nations.
