Sunday Salon: Bill Leeman — The Long Road to Annapolis
Bill Leeman, a professor at Salve Regina University, discusses The Long Road to Annapolis and the story of John Paul Jones, the Scottish émigré who became a Revolutionary War sea captain and argued for better education and training for American naval officers. Largely forgotten afterward, Jones was reclaimed as “Father of the American Navy” by Theodore Roosevelt, who was building support for a larger navy.
