John Williams Ptolemy is a historian, military enthusiast, and the author of Rise of the American Navy. His passion for American history drives his work, which delves into military history and brings the heroic contributions of military service people to life through stories and carefully researched recounts. He uses a clear linear narrative to bring history to life and is not afraid to acknowledge and explain the details of battle. His work aims to reach the casual historian, making history accessible to everyone, no matter their background. John has been studying military history for years, and despite a full-time career and rich family life, he dedicates much of his free time to researching and analyzing American history. He is driven to acknowledge and preserve the sacrifices people have made for their country, aiming to bring readers a new appreciation of the contributions military personnel make on a daily basis. He is fascinated by the role the military (particularly the navy) has played in the formation of America and is passionate about sharing this incredible story with others. A frequent visitor to historical sites and landmarks, John is always on the lookout for lectures and reenactments to attend in order to expand his understanding and open new avenues of research. John lives with his wife and daughter and loves spending time outdoors. When he’s not immersed in historical research, he can often be found fishing or hiking with his family.
