Product Description
Readers will imagine themselves right beside the bold John Paul Jones, luring enemy craft into danger and engaging them in close combat. Jones, a talented young captain, became an invaluable figure in America's fight for independence when he offered his sailing skills to the Continental Navy. In his barely seaworthy vessel, the Bonhomme Richard, he harassed British ships and commandeered their cargo, including desperately needed ammunition and uniforms. Sperry paints a vital portrait of an American hero.

Exciting Biography of John Paul Jones October 16, 2008
Lynn Ellingwood (Webster, NY United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an interesting biography of John Paul Jones of American Revolution fame. It retains excitement for the young reader and provides good information on the subject. John Paul Jones was Scottish and was considered a traitor of his homeland for backing the American Revolution. In England was accused of being a pirate and not considered to be anything else. He was a great hero of the US but died in France unknown and in an unmarked grave. What happened inbetween is very interesting.
