Richard Henry Dana Richard Henry Dana, American writer and lawyer, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on August 1, 1815. He left his studies at Harvard in 1834 in the hope that a sea voyage would aid his failing eyesight. He shipped out of Boston as a common seaman on board the brig Pilgrim bound for the Pacific, and returned to Massachusetts two years later. Completing his education, Dana became a leader of the American bar, an expert on maritime law, and a life-long advocate of the rights of the merchant seamen he had come to know on the Pilgrim and other vessels. Dana was an antislavery activist, and in 1848 he helped found the Free-Soil Party. He was a member of the Massachusetts legislature from 1867 to 1868. Two Years Before the Mast is based on the diary Dana kept while at sea. First published in 1841, it is one of America's most famous accounts of life at sea. It contains a rare and detailed account of life on the California coast a decade before the Gold Rush revolutionized the region's culture and society. Dana chronicles stops at the ports of Monterey, San Pedro, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Santa Clara. He describes the lives of sailors in the ports and their work of hide-curing on the beaches, and he gives close attention to the daily life of the peoples of California: Hispanic, Native American, and European. Dana's writing provides a glimpse into San Diego history, describing Old Town as it was in 1835 and the "hide trade" (curing and trimming cattle hides for export) on Point Loma's La Playa. In 1841 Dana wrote a handbook, The Seaman's Friend, which includes a section on maritime law, a field in which he became an authority. He was an opponent of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.

P-38 Lightning Richard Henry Dana Capt. James Cook Dudley Pope Henderson Island Major John Pitcairn Richard Henry Dana Jr. in 1842 A portrait of Dana in later life ... he was not thinking of literature when he wrote it, and thus the book takes rank with those books which are bits of life rather than products of art. (written by Richard Henry Dana Jr.'s son) Two years before the mast is an exciting narrative of a young man's voyage as a common seaman from Boston to California and back in the age of sail. Besides being the most accurate picture we have of the life of seamen of that time, it was influential in improving the living and working conditions of seamen. Two Years Before the Mast is a vivid account of the common sailor’s wretched treatment at sea. Other contemporary authors, like Melville, are more literary in their intentions, and officer's and seamen's journals and logs do not describe the commonplace Richard Henry Dana jr. (1815-1882), a young man from an influential Boston family, came down with measles while a junior at Harvard College. The illness affected his eyesight, and he left the college in 1834 because he had been told that a sea voyage would aid his failing eyesight. He turned down the offer of a free passage to Calcutta, and back, as a companion to the owner's representative. Instead, he procured a berth as a common seaman on board the brig Pilgrim bound, by way of Cape Horn, for California - then a province of Mexico.

Richard Henry Dana, Jr. The Cyclopaedia of American Literature Richard Henry Dana was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and grew up in Boston. His father, Richard Henry Dana, Sr. , was a lawyer and poet. Dana attended Harvard (1831-1833), but left school in 1834 because of his failing eyesight. He embarked upon a two year sea voyage by working as a common seaman on board the brig Pilgrim which sailed around Cape Horn to California. Dana returned to Harvard to complete his education. He studied law and entered law practice, drawing on his travel experience to acquire maritime law clients. In 1841 he published The Seaman's Friend , a standard manual on the law of the sea. Dana was also active in politics. Two Years Before the Mast, the writing for which he now so well known, is based on the diary he kept while at sea, and is considered a classic text on life aboard the old sailing ships.

As early as Chapter 6, the crew experiences the loss of a crew member overboard. Later, Dana comments on the casual way crew members reach out for one another in times of foot slips and lost grips, shaking off the temptation to express their fear or react to the surge of adrenaline that may have saved their lives. Dana returned to Boston, graduated from Harvard with the class of 1837, entered law school and wrote Two Years Before the Mast from memory, a small notebook and letters home, for his journal disappeared along with his sea chest when he disembarked in Boston Harbor in 1836. In his work as an attorney, he became a prominent authority on admiralty and international law. Keepers of the good ship Pilgrim, Dana Point

Antoine De Saint Exupèry Stephen Crane Thorkild Hansen RICHARD HENRY DANA JR. (1815-1882) Il nome dello scrittore americano è legato ad un solo libro, diventato un classico della letteratura americana: Two Years Before the Mast Due anni a prora , resoconto del viaggio di due anni ( ) intorno al continente americano, da Boston alla costa californiana, doppiando Capo Horn, a bordo prima del Pilgrim e poi dell' Alert come marinaio. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel ottenne un grande successo di pubblico che nel libro di Dana trovò la prima felice espressione di un modello di narrativa di mare che sarà poi sviluppato da Herman Melville in Moby Dick (1851). L'importanza di Dana risiede proprio nella capacità di dare per la prima volta alle vicende legate alla vita di mare una forma letteraria appetibile al pubblico dei lettori ottocenteschi, mantenendo una scrittura essenziale ed una fedeltà agli avvenimenti vissuti che sono, insieme alla precisione nel descrivere manovre navali e attività di bordo attraverso una miriade di termini nautici, le caratteristiche fondamentali della sua narrazione. Inoltre la permanenza a terra come lavorante in una conceria consentì a Dana di condividere i modi di vita dei primi coloni della costa californiana, descritti poi ampiamente nel libro. Richard Henry Dana jr L'autore nasce il 1° agosto a Cambridge, Massachusetts, in una famiglia tra le più importanti del New England i cui componenti, sin dal loro stabilirsi in America nel 1640, avevano esercitato le professioni di avvocato, giudice o ambasciatore. Il giovane Dana, dopo aver frequentato le scuole intorno Boston, si iscrive nel
