ABOUT
In 1834, Richard Henry Dana Jr. left the comforts of Boston for the hardships and abuses of the most exploited segment of the American working class.
Dana’s account of his passage around Cape Horn to California, and back, is a remarkable portrait of the seagoing life: the day-to-day routines and conversations, the sailors who manned the ship, the brutality of incompetent officers, and the style of life in the newly emerging coastal towns of California.
Includes monochrome and colour illustrations and end papers.
CONDITION
Excellent with wear on covers and faint marks on end papers, spotting on page edges, otherwise clean. Images depict all need to know detail.
