Mackenzie, Alexander Slidell (1803–48) naval officer and author, born in New York City. Mackenzie was at the center of a mid-19th-century incident resulting from his actions while in command of a training vessel. Apprised of a possible mutiny among the crew, Mackenzie hanged at the yardarm and buried at sea the three alleged ringleaders, one of whom, only eighteen years old, was the son of the secretary of war. The ensuing furor attracted a number of leading notables of the day, with Richard Henry Dana coming to Mackenzie's defense, and James Fenimore Cooper and Thomas Hart Benton coming down on the opposite side. Though a court-martial returned a verdict of not proven (1843), Mackenzie's navy career was effectively at an end.
