About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Captain Called It Mutiny by Frederic Van de Water. Read in English by Mark Harrington. On December 1, 1842, three crew members of the U.S. Navy brig Somers were hanged for mutiny. The alleged leader was eighteen-year-old Philip Spencer, son of President Tyler's Secretary of War. The author, a distant relative of one of the crew members suspected in the incident, attempts to uncover the facts of this controversial moment in United States naval history. - Summary by Mark Harrington
