About this book

Born in July 1747 to a Scottish gardener and fisherman near Arbigland on the Solway Firth, John Paul went to sea as a boy and later became known as Paul Jones. Hutchins Hapgood's short biography, number 12 in the Riverside Biographical Series, follows him from early voyages to the colonies and West Indies through the cruises of the Providence, the Alfred and the Ranger, his fight with the Serapis, diplomacy at the Texel, society in Paris, service in Russia and his last days. Hapgood drew on Jones's letters and journals and on earlier lives by Sherburne, MacKenzie and Buell. It appeared in 1901.
