Albert Sydney Snow (1845-1932) was a career naval officer who retired with the rank of Rear Admiral. He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War on the USS Constitution; on coastal survey duty in Alaska (1883-1887); and at the Naval Academy and at Portsmouth Navy Yard. He was commandant of the Boston Navy Yard from 1905-1907 and president of the general court-martial there.
The Albert Sydney Snow Letters consists of two letters from Admiral Snow to someone named Fuller (no first name is given). The letters are personal in nature and relate to invitations from Fuller to visit him.
