hoboken 's review for:
Two Years Before the Mast: A Sailor's Life at Sea
by Richard Henry Dana Jr.
One of the best books I've ever read to my surprise and a tribute to the rigors of a Harvard education since the author is too sick to continue there so drops out to spend two years in the kind of conditions shown on the cover. Vivid descriptions of life at sea in the 19th century, rounding the Horn, and the beauties of California in 1848, just before the gold bugs got there.
