Book Description
John Paul Jones (born John Paul; July 6, 1747 – July 18, 1792) was the United States' first well known naval commander in the American Revolutionary War, and yet the details of his extraordinary career are little known. His fame, in the broad sense of enduring interest, ranks with that of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, A dams, and Robert Morris; and, in his own particular province, he stands absolutely alone. To the average student of American history, mention of our Revolutionary Navy instantly suggests the name of Paul Jones, and no other. Yet, notwithstanding such singular distinction as a generality, but little is correctly known in detail as to the actual life and the real character of the man. The daily lives, the individual incidents, and the personal characters of our other very great men in that epoch are as open books. These men spent their lives in our country, and after they had passed away the materials for their histories were left in friendly hands. The reverse was true of Paul Jones. This is one of the rare books written about the life and achievements of this historical figure.

Book Description
An excerpt from the beginning. NO SINGLE event of the present decade has aroused so much interest in both France and the United States as the discovery in Paris and the triumphal return to the United States of the remains of John Paul Jones, and none has been more fruitful in demonstrations of international good will and the promotion of cordial relations between the two great republics of the world. At the time of his death (July 18, 1792), both countries claimed him as their own. The French Assembly passed a unanimous resolution honoring the memory of Paul Jones, "Admiral of the United States of America," and decreed "that twelve of its members should assist at the funeral of a man who had so well served the cause of liberty;" some of its members even proposed that he should be buried in the Pantheon among the illustrious dead of France. The high esteem in which Napoleon held Paul Jones may be judged from the following anecdote. In 1805, Napoleon, musing gloomily over the news from Trafalgar, asked Berthier: "How old was Paul Jones when he died?" Berthier replied that he thought he was forty-five years old. "Then," said Napoleon, "he did not fulfil his destiny. Had he lived to this time, France might have had an Admiral." The present government of France has shown no less honor than its predecessors to the memory of Paul Jones by the imposing ceremonies organized for the occasion of the transfer of the remains and the magnificent reception given to the American Mission and the American sailors and marines, sent over to claim and escort the body of the most illustrious commodore of the early American Navy.
