John Paul Jones: What an incredible life!

Born of humble beginnings in Scotland, John Paul Jones first overcame the bias of the English to become a merchant ship captain and then joined the cause of the colonies. He became one of our most important Founding Fathers and the Father of the US Navy. He then went on to win amazing victories for Russia's Catherine the Great as a Russian Admiral! A must read for every American.
