First Edition, First printing. Paul Barron Watson, author, born in Morristown, New Jersey, 25 March, 1861. He was graduated at Harvard in 1881, studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1885, and practiced in Boston. He has published a "Bibliography of the Pre-Columbian Discoveries of America" in the " Library Journal" (1881), which was reprinted in Rasmus B. Anderson's " America not Discovered by Columbus" (Chicago, 1884), and is the author of a " Life of Marcus Aurelius " Commodore Barron commanded the largest American naval squadron in 1807. James Barron was an officer in the United States Navy. He served in the Quasi-War and the Barbary Wars, during which he commanded a number of famous ships, including the USS Essex and the USS President. Fired upon by a British frigate, he was forced to surrender, an incident which inflamed American public opinion. Although war was averted, the incident brought Barron's at sea naval activity to a close. As commander of the frigate USS Chesapeake, he was court-martialed for his actions. After criticism from some fellow officers, the resulting controversy led Barron to a duel with Stephen Decatur, one of the officers who presided over his court-martial. Suspended from command, he pursued commercial interests in Europe during the War of 1812. Barron finished his naval career on shore duty, becoming the Navy's senior officer in 1839.
