"?John Paul Jones became one of the greatest naval heroes of the American Revolution, but much of his life remains shrouded in mystery...until now. The Treasure of Dead Mans Chest explains how this Scottish fugitive earned a naval commission. More importantly, the novel illuminates a hitherto unknown thirty-month period in John Pauls career. From November 1773 when he killed a mutineer to June 1775 when he received his naval commission in Philadelphia from Thomas Jefferson. Learn how the contract that he and John Silver made with the American founding fathers impacted the lives of the Colonists and ultimately helped win America's freedom from Mother England. "
