American Revolutionary War naval hero John Paul Jones (1747-1792), after being unable to collect prize money earned as a result of American naval actions during the war and denied the command of the USS America in 1792, in 1787 entered the service of Russian Empress Catherine II. He took part in actions in the Black Sea repulsing the Ottomans in what have been called Catherine's First and Second Turkish Wars. By 1788, Jones, disliking and inept at engaging Russian politics though he was awarded the Order Of Saint Anna, was disliked by native Russian navy hierarchy and also earned the emnity of the Empress. He was unable to earn a command in either the Swedish or Danish navies (the Empress apparently saw to that) and in 1790 relocated to Paris. Jones' particpation in the Turkish Wars is relate in this work though most of the volume contains trascriptions of letters from 1785 to 1792 in both the original French and in English translations.
