About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Autobiography of George Dewey. Read by Delmar H. Dolbier. Admiral George Dewey, United States Navy, is best remembered for his victory over the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War (1898). Written when Dewey was seventy-five years old and had served fifty-nine years in the navy, this book offers not only an excellent account of the famous naval battle in the Philippines, but also stories of the author’s many adventures during his long sea-going career, including some hair-raising experiences during the Civil War.
