First and foremost, all my gratitude goes to Louise McReynolds, my advisor, who led me through the ups and downs of this process for over a year. She consistently challenged me to push farther and farther into my analysis, and while her expectations were high, she always inspired me to live up to them. Our meetings, her comments, and our constant email chains from multiple continents not only culminated in this project, they crafted me into a better student and historian. To Kathleen DuVal and Donald Raleigh, I also owe my appreciation for their advice on the trajectory of this paper and the theoretical framework of my argument. I sincerely thank Donald Raleigh and Jay Smith for taking the time to read my project and sit on my oral defense committee.

  • Extracts from the Journals of My Campaigns by Paul Jones
    Extracts from the Journals of my Campaigns Paul Jones At the beginning of the war, during the year 1775, I was charged with fitting out the small squadron which Congress had placed under the command of Mr. Hopkins, commander of the American navy; and I hoisted with my own hands (on board the Alfred, flagship of the commander in chief) the American flag, then unfurled for the first time. At the same time, I told Mr. Hewes, a member of Congress and my special friend, of a project that afterward was fully planned by the two of us. The goal of this project was to seize the Island of St. Helena and for that purpose to dispatch the fleet against this island, which was very important for America to possess because the vessels of the British East India Company would not fail to drop anchor at that spot on their homeward trip; and in this manner they would inevitably fall into American hands. Because Congress had then proposed to retain two thirds of the prizes for itself, it would thus have acquired the means to carry on the war for many years. But an event of a more pressing nature prevented this project from being executed. The depredations and cruelties that the governor, Lord Dunmore, was then inflicting in Virginia determined the Congress to send the squadron against him. Mr. Hopkins displayed neither zeal nor intelligence on this occasion; he lost so much time that his squadron found itself imprisoned by ice in the Delaware. After a two month delay, the squadron finally was freed and set sail for and seized New Providence, the principal place in the Bahama Islands.
