It has not always been so. When the Revolutionary War ended, Jones’s celebrity vanished. His death in Paris a decade later went unnoticed; he was buried in a foreign grave and forgotten by his fellow Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWhat Remains\u003c\/em\u003e, Robert Hornick explores why Jones was forgotten, the subsequent recovery of his memory and remains, and the much delayed commemoration of his achievement. The book chronicles the efforts of the men and women who, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, reconstructed Jones’s legacy, searched for and finally found his lost grave, and returned both his physical remains and his memory to a place of honor. It also recounts the extraordinary moment when Theodore Roosevelt utilized Jones’s commemoration to proclaim America a global power. \u003cem\u003eWhat Remains\u003c\/em\u003e offers a fascinating story of opportunists and evangelists: of politicians who needed Jones to advance their agendas, but also of fellow warriors committed to recovering one of their own from obscurity and shame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eWhat Remains\u003c\/em\u003e adds  an important new perspective to the life of John Paul Jones. The book gets beyond the implausible facts of Jones’s life to establish his relevance to our own lives and times.” — Joseph Callo, author of \u003cem\u003eJohn Paul Jones: America’s First Sea Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041770701143,"sku":"9781625342713","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781625342713.jpg?v=1750951614","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/what-remains-searching-for-the-memory-and-lost-grave-of-john-paul-jones-9781625342713","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
