John Paul Jones, Fighting Sailor

"I have just begun to fight!"

With those ringing words John Paul Jones replied to the British demand for surrender in 1779. And for that defiant stand the "Father of the American Navy" is remembered.

The life story of this great naval hero — a story of American daring and independence, of heroic sacrifices for friends and country — is magnificently told by Armstrong Sperry, a Newbery Medal winner who is especially noted for his stories of the sea.
