A true story of the battered life of a foremast crewman,
Two Years Before the Mast
is Richard Henry Dana’s classic travel narrative, which inspired canonical works such as
Moby Dick
and
Sailing Alone Around the World
. As Rod Scher follows Dana (the Harvard dropout-turned-sailor) on his voyages around North America, he annotates Dana’s tale with critiques, tie-ins to today, and little-known facts about both the book and the milieu of Dana’s time.
