When Admiral Sigsbee's squadron sailed for France to convey to the United States the body of John Paul Jones, Professor Marion of the Naval Academy accompanied it, and became the historian of the voyage. His acquaintance with the officers of the squadron, his knowledge of the ships, and his participation in the ceremonies incident to the transfer of the remains of the illustrious Naval Commander from Paris to the picturesque military harbor of Cherbourg and thence to Annapolis, eminently qualified him for writing his graphic account of "John Paul Jones' Last Cruise." Theodore Roosevelt was heavily involved in finding and returning the remains of John Paul Jones to the United States. He delivered a major address as the Commemoration Exercises in Honor of John Paul Jones held on April 24, 1906 (the anniversary of the battle between the Jones's Ranger and HMS Drake, fought in the Irish Sea in 1778).

John Marshall (September 24, 1755 – July 6, 1835) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the fourth Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 until his death in 1835. Marshall remains the longest-serving chief justice and fourth-longest serving justice in Supreme Court history, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential justices to ever sit on the Supreme Court. After his appointment to the Supreme Court, Marshall began working on a biography of George Washington. He did so at the request of his close friend, Associate Justice Bushrod Washington, who had inherited the papers of his uncle. Marshall's The Life of George Washington, the first biography about a U.S. president ever published, spanned five volumes. The first two volumes, published in 1803, were poorly-received and seen by many as an attack on the Democratic-Republican Party. Nonetheless, historians have often praised the accuracy and well-reasoned judgments of Marshall's biography. More

As noted in the Foreword, "What did the battle prove? It proved that raw, untrained American troops could fight, and fight well--but only if they had to; that success would come to the British only if they responded flexibly and imaginatively to the unorthodox demands of warfare in colonial territories 3,000 miles from home; and finally, that if the still disunited, still legally British states of American were to fight with any hope of success a continental war against the greatest military power on earth, a leader of great personal force and of great military and political skill would have to be forthcoming.
