| Summary | "The Logs of the Serapis—Alliance—Ariel" edited by John S. Barnes is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This volume compiles the logs from significant naval engagements during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on the ships commanded by the legendary naval officer John Paul Jones from 1779 to 1780. The book likely addresses topics related to naval warfare, ship operations, and the personal accounts of the officers and crew involved in these pivotal maritime events. The opening of the book sets the stage for an analysis of Jones' command and the ships involved in his campaigns. It begins with an introduction detailing the significance of the logs, alongside a list of officers and crew from the "Bon Homme Richard," documenting their enlistments and roles. Furthermore, early entries foreshadow the battle with the British ship "Serapis," noting the mustering and operational details of the American ships. The focus on meticulous record-keeping paints a vivid picture of naval life and strategy during the Revolutionary War, highlighting both the challenges faced and the heroism displayed by those under Jones' command.
