A juvenile biography of the Revolutionary naval officer John Paul Jones, written by Molly Elliot Seawell and published by D. Appleton in New York in 1893 for young American readers. Wash-drawing plates alternate between crowded deck scenes of sailors shouting and gesturing and quieter marine studies of square-riggers under full sail by moonlight, useful for rigging detail, halftone sea texture, and vignette-shaped compositions.
