Damn good work on his part! Someone ought to make a really good movie about it...up to the standard of "Master and Commander" and treat both Jones and Pearson with equal honor, following both their careers to the desperate encounter. It could be great, if it were done properly.

But what if Mel Gibson decided to direct it? Ouch! The British would all be presented as completely despicable psychopaths, and Jones would impale Pearson with his sword in the climactic scene, instead of what really happened.
