Reviews«Professor Schaeper's carefully researched volume offers a different view from most previous studies of the battle and corrects them on a number of points.» (Alan G. Jamieson, The Northern Mariner) «This is an interesting, well argued and fully documented study which is of value to the specialist both for its text and for its bibliography.» (Kenneth Breen, The Mariner's Mirror) «...a valuable contribution to historical accuracy. It should balance older studies of this dramatic incident in the naval history of the American Revolutionary War and one of its most colourful figures.» (William H. Flayhart III, International Journal of Maritime History)

Table Of ContentContents: This book examines the battle that took place off Flamborough Head in September 1779. John Paul Jones lost his Bonhomme Richard, but he captured the British frigate Serapis.
SynopsisThis book examines John Paul Jones's most famous battle, the one in which his "Bonhomme Richard" confronted the British "Serapis" off the coast of England in September 1779. Thomas J. Schaeper argues that the standard interpretation of the event errs in many details concerning such things as the date, the size and relative strength of the ships, and Jones's relationship with his fellow commanders and his crew. The most important feature of this work is its translation and discussion of a heretofore neglected firsthand account of the battle. Schaeper calls into question several cherished beliefs about the abilities and the character of John Paul Jones., This book examines John Paul Jones's most famous battle, the one in which his Bonhomme Richard confronted the British Serapis off the coast of England in September 1779.
