Title: John Paul Jones' Memoir of the American Revolution Colonies || Author: Gerald Gawalt || ISDN: 0-898-75190-X || Released: January 2001 |
| Anyone familiar with the life of John Paul Jones, one of America's most popular naval heroes, would agree that in fighting spirit the commodore was perhaps equal to any officer in the history of the United States Navy. Unquestionably, he was deserving of the belated tribute paid to him by President Theodore Roosevelt on April 24, 1906, at the formal reception at Annapolis of the body of Capt. Paul Jones, as the hero was known at the height of his career. President Roosevelt admonished an audience of naval officers and cadets, statesmen and visiting dignitaries: "Every officer in our Navy should know by heart the deeds of John Paul Jones. Every officer in our Navy should feel in each fiber of his being an eager desire to emulate the energy, the professional capacity, the indomitable determination and dauntless scorn of death which marked John Paul Jones above all his fellows.” |

| Nathanael Greene was a patriot in the mold of Paul Revere. Modest to a fault, he was one of George Washington's favorite Generals. Always putting the cause before his own personal glory, he is just now starting to get the recognition as a key player in the struggle for American Independence. This book goes into depth about the man, the myth, and now the legend. |
