Download or read book Two Years Before the Mast written by Richard Henry Dana (Jr.) and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Years Before the Mast is a remarkable book, part travelogue and part seafaring adventure. A great look at what life was really like on the merchant sailing ships of the first half of the 19th century, Two Years Before the Mast is also part suspense yarn, with the hero's return to his native land in serious doubt due to events beyond his control. Seen through the eyes of young man in his late teens who looks for both a cure for his measles and some real thrills, Richard Henry Dana treats us to his view of the west coast and the Californians as compared to his native, very urban and developed Yankee city of Boston. He finds them very different - but when he first visits San Francisco, the city is a single shack! This book was the guide for the many Americans who headed west for gold 15 years after its publication, too. As such it helped shape their settlement and exploration of the land. Dana's time aboard ship differs hugely from his comfortable home life in Boston. That he was willing to accept this, even embrace it, moves the book from a dry history to a real-life human interest story. His description of the sailing ships of the day involves many terms which few now will understand. Beyond that, the excitement of Two Years Before the Mast makes it a must-read for anyone in search of a young man's quest for real-life thrills at sea and in a new country.

A film adaptation under the same name was released in 1946.While an undergraduate at Harvard College, Dana had an attack of the measles which affected his vision. Thinking it might help his sight, Dana left Harvard to enlist as a common sailor on a voyage around Cape Horn on the brig Pilgrim. He returned to Massachusetts two years later aboard the Alert (which left California sooner than the Pilgrim).He kept a diary throughout the voyage, and, after returning, he wrote a recognized American classic, Two Years Before the Mast, published in 1840.....Richard Henry Dana Jr. (August 1, 1815 - January 6, 1882) was an American lawyer and politician from Massachusetts, a descendant of an eminent colonial family, who gained renown as the author of the American classic, the memoir Two Years Before the Mast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Henry Dana a Biography, Vol. 1 of 2 Richard Henry Dana, the younger of the name, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the first day of August, 1815. He came from an old Massachusetts stock, long resident in the town of his birth, the early records of which contain mention of a Richard Dana in 1640, though how long he had then been in the country, or whence or why he came, does not appear. It has always been the family tradition that this first Richard was of French descent, and it is still thought probable that his ancestors were French Vaudois dwelling in the valleys of Piedmont, where Danas are still found whose families can be traced back for centuries, and whence other Danas may well have been driven by those religious persecutions of which that region was the frequent scene. Whether of Italian or English, and remotely, perhaps, as the name might seem to imply, of Scandinavian origin, the first Richard had a grandson of the same name who was in his time (1700-1772) a prominent lawyer, and in his latter years an active patriot, though he died before the revolutionary troubles culminated. He married (1737) a sister of Edmund Trowbridge, the eminent colonial judge, and by her, in 1743, had a son, Francis, who was a delegate in 1777-9 and '84 from Massachusetts to the Continental Congress, and was appointed by it in 1780 the first American Minister to the Court of Russia.
