The Captain's Story: Or The Disobedient Son is a novel written by William S. Martin and first published in 1868. The book tells the story of a young man named George, the son of a wealthy sea captain. George is a rebellious and disobedient son who is constantly getting into trouble and causing his father grief. Despite his father's efforts to steer him towards a life at sea, George refuses and instead pursues a life of pleasure and indulgence.As George's behavior becomes increasingly reckless, his father is forced to take drastic measures to try and save his son from himself. The novel explores themes of family, duty, and the consequences of one's actions. It also provides a glimpse into life at sea during the mid-19th century and the challenges faced by sailors and their families.Overall, The Captain's Story is a compelling tale of a father's love for his son and the lengths he will go to in order to save him from his own self-destructive behavior. It is an engaging read that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and classic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
