A review by nadoislandgirl
Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.

3.0

I believe this is one of the first books to be written about California. It is the history of a college man who left home for his health and sailed to California as a sailor. He spent most of his time traveling up and down the coast of California and loading and processing hides for transit.

I appreciated the glimpse into early California history.

The book was a bit dry at times.
