''To Cuba And Back: A Vacation Voyage'' is a travelogue book written by Richard Henry Dana Jr. in 1860. The book is a detailed account of the author’s journey to Cuba and back, which he undertook as a vacation voyage. Dana Jr. was an American author, lawyer, and sailor, who is best known for his memoir ''Two Years Before the Mast''. In ''To Cuba And Back'', he describes his experiences and observations during his trip to Cuba, which he took with his wife and a few friends. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of the journey. Dana Jr. talks about the preparations for the trip, the voyage to Cuba, the sights and sounds of Havana, the Cuban people and their culture, the natural beauty of the island, and the return journey. Throughout the book, Dana Jr. provides vivid descriptions of the places he visited, the people he met, and the things he saw. He also shares his opinions on various topics, such as slavery, politics, and the Cuban revolution. ''To Cuba And Back'' is a fascinating account of a journey to a foreign land, written by a skilled writer and observer. It provides a glimpse into the Cuba of the mid-19th century and offers insights into the mindset of an American traveler of that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
