Richard Henry Dana V1 is a biography of the American lawyer, author, and politician Richard Henry Dana Jr. The book is written by Charles Francis Adams, who was a historian and a descendant of two American presidents. The biography covers the life of Richard Henry Dana Jr., who was born in 1815 in Massachusetts. Dana was educated at Harvard University and went on to become a lawyer. However, he is best known for his book Two Years Before the Mast, which chronicled his experiences as a sailor on a merchant ship in the 1830s. Adams delves into Dana's personal life, including his marriage to Sarah Watson, and his political career. Dana was a staunch abolitionist and served as a member of the Free Soil Party in the 1840s. He also worked as a lawyer and argued several cases before the Supreme Court. The book provides a detailed look at Dana's life and accomplishments, as well as his impact on American literature and politics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, literature, or politics.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
