About the Book

Baked Beans is a follow-up to A Bird's Eye View, the story of the heavy cruiser USS Boston, and her exploits during WWll in the many battles against the Empire of Japan. After publication, Steve and brother Bill set-up a website dedicated the the Boston and it's crew from the ship's christening to it's final trip to the mothball fleet in Bemerton, WA, in January 1946. The website touched a nerve with friends and relatives of the crew. Sons and daughters and nieces and nephews began contacting the Kellys, wanting to share pictures, stories, memorabilia, documents and other treasures. That is the story of the beginning of Baked Beans. Not only does it contain first hand accounts - two sailor's diaries and notes; it also contains actual brochures and newsletters and certificates from the War. It is full of original photographs from the Boston (CA-69) collection at the National Archives in Wsshington, DC. If that's not enough, Steve has included interviews with four members of the original crew - 3 enlisted men and one officer - who share their memories of the mundane, "day-to-day life aboard the ship" stories, and anecdotes of milestone events and major battles. There really is something for everyone in these pages! Note - this is Volume 1 - covering the first part of the War, including the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Volume 2 is already in the works. There will be a Volume 3 as well . . .
