About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”.

Was known as Alexander Slidell until 1838, when, under authorization of the New York legislature, he added Mackenzie to his name out of regard for a maternal uncle. He was born on April 6, 1803 and was a son of John Slidell, a New York City merchant, and a brother of John Slidell, the Confederate diplomatic agent.
His mother, Margery or May (Mackenzie) Slidell, was a native of the Highlands of Scotland.
After a period of attendance at a boarding school, he continued his education in the navy, which he entered on January 1, 1815, as a midshipman. Fond of books, he applied himself to the study of literature and the rudiments of his profession.
From 1818 to 1821, Mackenzie was with the Macedonian in the Pacific Ocean, and later, obtaining a furlough, commanded a merchant vessel. Returning to the navy, he aided in the suppression of piracy in the West Indies in 1824, being attached to the Terrier.
In January 1825, he was promoted to a lieutenancy and soon thereafter, on leave from the navy, visited France and made a tour of Spain, the main incidents of which he embodied in a two-volume book entitled A Year in Spain, which appeared first in Boston in 1829 and later in London.
Favorably noticed by some of the leading American and English reviewers and translated into Swedish, it started its author upon a literary career that henceforth absorbed all the time that he could spare from the active duties of his profession. In 1830-33, he made a cruise in the Mediterranean on the Brandywine, and upon his return home published his second book, Popular Essays on Naval Subjects (1833). He next toured England and again visited Spain and gathered the material that appeared in The American in England and Spain Revisited.
In 1837-38, he served as a lieutenant on the Independence and visited Russia. Thence he proceeded to Brazil, and, taking command of the Dolphin, witnessed the siege and surrender of Bahia and other important events in that region, some of which he described in a pamphlet published at this time. Soon after he returned to the United States in 1839, he wrote a Life of Paul Jones.
In the previous year, his Life of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, in two volumes, had appeared. He was promoted commander, September 1841, and soon thereafter took command of the steamer Missouri of the home squadron. From this vessel, he was transferred to the brig Somers, then used as a training ship for apprentices, and in September 1842 sailed for the African squadron with dispatches.
While on the return voyage, plans for a mutiny were discovered and Midshipman Philip Spencer, a boatswain, and a seaman were executed for their complicity therein. When the brig reached the United States this extreme act of discipline caused much public excitement, and in circles friendly to Spencer, who was a notorious scapegrace but a son of the secretary of war, the feeling against Mackenzie was bitter.
A court of inquiry and a court-martial that investigated his conduct exonerated him, and all attempts to indict him in civil courts failed. The official judgment has been justified by the verdict of posterity. Mackenzie now retired to his home on the Hudson near Tarrytown, New York, and occupied himself with writing The Life of Stephen Decatur (1846).
In May 1846 President Polk sent him on a special mission to General Santa Anna at Havana. In the Mexican War, he acted as one of the two representatives of the navy at the surrender of Vera Cruz and as a commander of the artillery at the second attack on Tabasco. In 1847-48, he commanded the steamer Mississippi of the home squadron, his last naval service.
Mackenzie was most famous for his 1842 decision to execute three suspected mutineers aboard a ship under his command, the USS Somers. Mackenzie was also an accomplished man of letters, producing several volumes of travel writing and biographies of early important US naval figures, some of whom he knew personally.
