Captain in Washingtons Continental Navy, raider of the British coasts and victor in one of historys most desperate naval battles, lion of the French court and beloved by beautiful women, Russian admiral under Catherine the Great, and dead at 45, neglected by his adopted United States, his very grave lost for a hundred years-that was John Paul Jones.
